Abstract:
The primary focus of this research was to gain an understanding of the relationship between executive function (EF) and physical function in the context of physiotherapy rehabilitation post-stroke. Traditionally EF has not fallen within the professional domain of physiotherapy as it is a set of higher-order cognitive skills. However, on review of the literature it is clear that cognitive impairment is a common consequence of stroke which has negative implications for functional recovery. Therefore, the presence of executive dysfunction (ED) post-stroke is of particular interest to physiotherapists.
