Train-your-brain pilot community-based intervention after stroke: cognitive trajectory over 10-month follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Stroke leads to cognitive impairments that affect survivors' quality of life. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Train-Your-Brain (TYB) pilot community intervention in cognitive outcomes among stroke survivors and caregivers at baseline, post-intervention, and 10-month follow-up.

Methods

Thirty-one participants (20 stroke survivors, 11 caregivers) were evaluated. Cognitive functioning was measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) with analysis of subtest-level performances and Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT).

Results

Among stroke survivors, MoCA immediate recall scores maintained during the intervention, but declined 10-months later (p = 0.005). Analysis of the MoCA delayed memory subtest revealed a graded perform
