Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stroke is a global cause of severe disability. Therefore, this Special Issue of Brain Sciences, “The Impact of Stroke on Functional Cognition and Rehabilitation Approaches”, will focus on the cognitive impairments that occur after stroke. These include, but are not limited to, memory loss, attention deficits, unilateral attention loss (neglect), executive dysfunction, etc.
More specifically, it will focus on the impact of cognitive impairments on everyday living (activity limitations) and how these limitations impact life roles (participation restrictions).
The issue will include manuscripts that describe assessment procedures and intervention approaches.
Prof. Dr. Glen Gillen
