Remote cognitive rehabilitation in patients post-cerebrovascular accident: an experience report.

Background: Aiming to contribute to the reduction of cognitive impairment, as well as to improve the quality of life of patients affected by stroke, it was proposed to carry out a cognitive rehabilitation focused on attentional aspects (sustained, alternate, selective and divided attention). Due to the new Coronavirus pandemic and the need for social isolation, the rehabilitation was adapted to the remote model.

Methods: The rehabilitation was designed and carried out with six patients, coming from a public neurology outpatient service, who had suffered a stroke within a period of up to one year before the start of rehabilitation.
