The Relationship Between Activities of Daily Living and Cognitive Score in Stroke Patients

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of stroke patients´ cognitive score on their the activities of daily living. The subjects of this study were 30 stroke patients who were admitted to Tae-Bong hospital from November, 2002 to March, 2003. The subjects were administerd an MMSE as a cognitive assessment and an MBI as a functional assessment upon referral to physical therapy initially. The results were as follows: 1. The MMSE scores for the stroke patients were related to the patients´ abilities to perform their activities of daily living. The changes of MBI scores significantly correlated with the changes of MMSE scores (p<.05). 2. The subjects with left hemispheric lesion scored higher in MMSE than those with right hemispheric lesions (p<.05). 3. The hemispheric lesions did not significantly affect the activities of daily living score (p>.05).
