标题：The problem of recovery of the patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA): the capabilities of psychological techniques in the improvement of cognitive functions
摘要：If the appropriate combined measures are not taken to treat the manifestations of cognitive disorders, they have a tendency to progress towards worsening over time in the patients with CVA. The most common cognitive dysfunctions are as follows: disorders of attention, thinking, memory and executive functions. More and more studies are focused on the application of the various methods and techniques for neurorehabilitation of these disorders. Evaluation of the effect of adding the neurorehabilitation techniques in the treatment program in the early recovery period was a part of the objectives of this study. The sample consisted of 70 people with CVA. The study was carried out in the hospital environment. During 10 days, the standard scheme of the drug treatment was supplemented with the neurorehabilitation method using the "Brain jogging" technique and group work techniques in the experimental group. A battery of the psychodiagnostic tests was used, which included the "MMSE Scale" test, Pieron-Ruser test, Ebbinghaus test, and "10-word memorization" technique (according to A.R. Luria). Based on the study results, the features of the dynamics of recovery in the patients with CVA of indicators of cognitive functions are described due to the inclusion of psycho-gymnastic techniques in the rehabilitation program.
