Goal attainment in cognitive rehabilitation in MS patients.

The aim of the study was to investigate the predictive value of important disease-related variables on goal attainment in cognitive rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis (MS). The possible predictive value of executive functions, neurological disability, depression and general cognitive ability was assessed, employing Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS). Fifty-seven patients with MS were assessed for executive functions, neurological disability, depression and general cognitive ability, and guided through the process of formulating GAS-goals for coping with cognitive challenges in everyday life during a four week in-patient cognitive rehabilitation programme.
