Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective: To examine whether there were any differences in recovery in performance of personal activities of daily living (P-ADL) in relation to cognitive impairments pre- and poststroke from discharge to 6 and 12 months in elderly persons. Methods: Forty-five elderly persons after stroke were assessed at discharge from the hospital at 6 and at 12 months. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the person´s prestroke cognitive status. P-ADL was assessed with the Barthel Index. The Mini Mental State Examination and neuropsychological tests were used to measure cognitive functions. Results: Persons with cognitive impairments before and after stroke did not improve in P-ADL from the acute phase until 6 and 12 months, while persons with intact cognition pre- and poststroke did. Conclusion: Since cognitive problems pre- and poststroke hinder recovery in P-ADL, it is important to be aware of the connection between cognitive impairment and activity limitations in planning the optimal rehabilitation. Key words: ADL, cognitive dysfunction, elderly, longitudinal, prestroke, stroke

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Det saknas studier om hur kognitiva nedsättningar pre-och poststroke påverkar vardagsaktiviteterna för äldre personer efter ett år. Syftet var att undersöka om det var någon skillnad i P-ADL från akutskedet till 12 månader hos äldre personer efter stroke med eller utan kognitiva nedsättningar pre- och poststroke. Äldre personer drabbade av stroke (n=45) inkluderades. Bedömningar utfördes vid utskrivning, 6 och 12 månader. Medianålderna var 77 år. Åstrands frågeformulär användes för att intervjua anhöriga om patientens kognitiva status prestroke. DSM-III användes också för diagnosen prestroke demens. Bartel Index användes för att bedöma P-ADL. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) och ett neuropsykologiskt test batteri användes för att bedöma kognitiv funktion. Resultat: Ej publicerat än

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study examines how prestroke dementia and cognitive dysfunction after stroke influence the personal activities of daily living (P-ADL) in elderly patients in the acute phase after stroke. Elderly patients (n = 60) referred to geriatric rehabilitation were included. Assessments were carried out at admission and evaluated at discharge from the geriatric ward. The median age of the group was 77 years. Åstrand’s questionnaire was used to interview a close relative about the patient’s prestroke cognitive status. P-ADL was assessed with the Barthel Index (BI). The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and a neuropsychological test battery were used to measure cognitive functions. Analyses were made using non-parametrical methods. In the acute phase after stroke, neither the presence of prestroke dementia nor the cognitive status after stroke onset among these elderly patients influenced P-ADL at admission or at discharge. Prestroke dementia and cognitive dysfunction’s were found to be common after stroke onset, however this did not have any impact on dependence in P-ADL in these elderly patients at admission or at discharge.

- Abstract Objective: To examine whether there were any differences in the recovery in performance of personal activities of daily living (P-ADL) in elderly persons in relation to cognitive impairments pre- and poststroke from discharge to 6 and 12 months in elderly persons. Methods: Forty-five elderly persons after stroke were assessed at discharge from hospital and at 6 and at 12 months after stroke onset. A questionnaire posed to the next of kin was used to evaluate the person´s pre- and poststroke cognitive status. P-ADL was assessed with the Barthel Index. The Mini Mental State Examination and neuropsychological tests were used to measure cognitive functions after stroke. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale was used to measure neurological deficits. Results: Persons with cognitive impairments before and after stroke did not improve in P-ADL from the acute phase until 6 and 12 months, while persons with intact cognition pre- and post stroke did. Conclusion: Since cognitive problems pre- and poststroke hinder recovery in P-ADL, it is important to understand the connection between cognitive impairment and activity limitations when planning the optimal rehabilitation, which could include special compensation strategies, learnt by the patients, cognitive assistive devices and/or appropriate personal support trained in meaningful activities in daily life in their natural environment.
