Subgroups Defined by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Differ in Functional Gain During Acute Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To validate subgroups of cognitive impairment on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)-defined as normal (score of 25-30), mildly impaired (score of 20-24), and moderately impaired (score less than 19)-by determining whether they differ in rehabilitation gain during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.

Design

Observational study. Linear regression models were conducted and predictors included MoCA subgroups and relevant baseline demographic and clinical covariates. Separate models included the cognitive subscale of the FIM instrument as a predictor.

Setting

Inpatient rehabilitation facility of an urban, academic medical center.

Participants

Inpatients (N=334) with mild-moderate strokes who were administered the MoCA on admission.

Interventions
