Abstract
Introduction: According to literature sources, cognitive dysfunction is one of the most common stroke-induced disorders. Despite high number of cases of cognitive disorders after stroke, treatment possibilities are still rather limited. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of cognitive training in individuals after stroke, in particular computer-based cognitive rehabilitation (CBCR) programmes. Methods : The analysis included studies where intervention of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation (CBCR) programme was applied to subjects after stroke. We searched PubMed (Medline), Cochrane Database, and EBSCO for publications between January 2007 and July 2016. All the included studies were published in English. Results: Ten studies met the inclusion criteria. The included studies consisted of nine randomized controlled trials (RCT) and one randomized pilot study. All the studies targeted general or domain-specific cognitive functions. The majority of the included studies resulted in the improvement of the assessed functional outcome measures. Conclusion: The overview conducted by the authors of this article allows us to claim that computer-based cognitive rehabilitation programmes may help to improve cognitive functions in subjects after stroke.
