Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A common consequence of stroke is cognitive impairment which occurs in up to 60% of stroke survivors. Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) refers to cognitive impairment that arises after the stroke, causing an important functional dependence and many other adverse outcomes including behavioral and emotional symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, apathy, and reduced quality of life. It is important to identify patients at risk of developing PSCI as soon as possible in order to implement adequate and timely multidisciplinary treatment.
The Special Issue entitled “Cognitive Impairment and Related Complications of Stroke: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment” aims to gather together the latest studies in this field; above all those focused on protective factors, diagnostical cognitive measures, and new cognitive rehabilitation protocols.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original research articles, review papers, case studies, and clinical trials concerning new assessment methods, novel rehabilitation protocols, and approaches or techniques seeking to improve the management and the quality of life of people with this condition.
