Abstract
- To inform cognitive interventions that target functional capacity for individuals who have survived stroke, an evaluation of predictors of daily functioning is necessary. The current literature is limited regarding identifying the associations between objective cognitive functioning and objective performance of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). To investigate the relationship between objectively measured cognitive domains/executive functions and performance on an objective measure of IADLs following a stroke. Cross-sectional examination of 52 participants who have survived strokes and completed assessments of immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional skills, language, attention, delayed memory, executive functions (i.e., inhibition and flexibility, concept-formation and problem-solving, abstract thinking, deductive thinking, and verbal abstraction), and a performance-based measure of IADLs (UCSD Performance-based Skills Assessment; UPSA). Results indicated significant correlations between the UPSA and immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional skills, language, delayed memory, and executive functions (i.e., concept formation and problem-solving, flexibility of thinking, and verbal abstraction). A hierarchical multiple regression, controlling for age, severity of stroke, side of stroke, and depressive symptoms and including the cognitive measures individually significantly associated with the UPSA, explained approximately 62% of the variance in overall UPSA performance. This regression demonstrated that only language significantly predicted UPSA total score, in the context of multiple variables. Cognitive functioning is significantly associated with IADL functioning post-stroke, and considering multiple domains of cognitive functioning together largely explains the performance of IADLs.
