Lesion location may attenuate response to strategy training in acute stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Strategy training, a rehabilitation intervention, reduces disability and improves functional skills associated with goal-directed behavior. Stroke lesions impacting selected ventromedial regions of interest associated with initiation of goal-directed behavior may attenuate intervention response. If so, strategy training may not be optimal for people with stroke lesions in these regions.

Objective

To examine whether ventromedial regions of interest attenuate changes in disability status attributed to strategy training.

Design

Secondary analysis of data from two randomized controlled clinical trials.

Setting

Inpatient stroke rehabilitation.

Participants

People with acute stroke diagnosis and available diagnostic studies enrolled in inpatient reh
