Who knows best? Awareness of divided attention difficulty in a neurological rehabilitation setting.

Objective: To explore whether patients relearning to walk after acquired brain injury and showing cognitive-motor interference were aware of divided attention difficulty; whether their perceptions concurred with those of treating staff.

Design: Patients and neurophysiotherapists (from rehabilitation and disabled wards) completed questionnaires. Factor analyses were applied to responses.

Changing patterns of cognitive-motor interference (CMI) over time during recovery from stroke.

Objective: To explore the extent and nature of change in cognitive-motor interference (CMI) among rehabilitating stroke patients who showed dual-task gait decrement at initial assessment.

Design: Experimental, within-subjects, repeated measures design.

Setting: Rehabilitation centre for adults with acquired, nonprogressive brain injury.
