A Study of Stroke Patients in Courses for Rehabilitation and
Psychosocial Adjustment.

Stroke may cause profound changes in the patient’s cognitive functions. These changes may include specific neuropsychological deficits, anosognosia and executive dysfunction.

Also depression and adjustment disorders are common after stroke. The present study investigates the cognitive deficits of first-stroke patients of working age, as well as the
associations between these deficits and motor deficit, functional capacity, mood and life satisfaction in the postacute phase.
