Indore psychologists develop innovative tool for stroke recovery

Stroke: The tool works like a game, realistically adapting to the patient’s capabilities. One researcher said it targets essential cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and problem-solving through tailored activities.

A team of psychologists from Indore, including a former expert from NIMHANS, has pioneered a cutting-edge neurorehabilitation tool aimed at helping stroke survivors regain cognitive function.

Their groundbreaking study, published last month in Scientific Reports, a Nature journal, offers new hope to individuals struggling with post-stroke cognitive impairment.

Addressing Stroke-Related Cognitive Deficits

Cognitive impairment following a stroke is a common challenge, often affecting:

Memory and attention

Language and communication

Functional abilities in daily life

While computerized cognitive retraining has been explored as a rehabilitation method, existing interventions often show poor outcomes in neuropsychological function and real-world application.

A Revolutionary Approach to Neurorehabilitation

The Indore team’s innovative tool leverages technology-driven interventions to enhance cognitive recovery in patients. By integrating neuroscientific principles with personalized therapy, the approach aims to:

Improve neuropsychological functioning

Enhance language and communication skills

Restore daily living capabilities

With promising early results, this breakthrough could redefine rehabilitation, offering a more effective and scalable solution for cognitive recovery.
