A Microanalysis of Mood and Self-Reported Functionality in Stroke Patients Using Ecological Momentary Assessment.

ABSTRACT: Post-stroke depression has been repeatedly associated with the degree of functional and cognitive impairment. The present study aimed to conduct a microanalysis on this association and examined the association between mood and self-reported functionality in 20 stroke patients (6 females, age: M = 59.9, SD = 5.2) using ecological momentary assessments (EMA), a structured diary method capturing moment-to-moment variations.
