Larry Goldstein Cognitive Quotations

We were looking at whether the initial cognitive impairment predicted or was associated with how they improved in terms of their general neurological impairment. It turned out that, at least in this population, it didn't really matter. The rate of improvement was similar, regardless of whether they had a cognitive impairment at baseline or not.

With or without cognitive impairment, patients improved in stroke rehabilitation, and they improved at a similar rate, regardless of whether cognitive impairment was present, at least as measured by the Mini-Mental State Exam.

At least half of the patients had a cognitive impairment when they entered rehabilitation.
