Cognitive Worksheets for Stroke Patients

These methods include the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach, compensatory strategies (e.g., pager system), various computer games and training, various types of attention and memory training, art therapy, and, more recently, virtual reality.

Shape recognition, hand-eye coordination, manual dexterity, and problem-solving skills are needed to assemble a puzzle.

The Cognitive Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (CASP) is a rapid test for screening for post-stroke cognitive impairment. It can be performed at the patient's bedside by a non-expert examiner. A CASP score of <35/36 should alert to the possible presence of cognitive impairment.
