Abstract

Aim: To compare the cognitive communicative performance of Stroke patients with that of normal subjects and also, to compare the cognitive communicative performance across stroke subgroups of cortical lesion and subcortical lesion.

Materials and Methods: 15 stroke patients (experimental group) and 15 neurologically healthy individuals (control group) were taken. In the experimental group, 7 had cortical and 8 had subcortical lesion. Scale of Cognitive and Communicative Ability for Neurorehabilitation (SCCAN) test was used for assessing cognitive communicative abilities of all the subjects.

Results: The stroke patients as a group performed significantly poorer when compared to that of control group on SCCAN. The performance of stroke patients was more impaired on memory scale compared to other scales of SCCAN. The cognitive communicative performance of patients within the experimental group showed that subcortical stroke patients performed poorer when compared to the cortical stroke patients on SCCAN.

Conclusion: This study highlights on the nature of cognitive communicative deficits in stroke patients.
