Effect of the video instruction on understanding of cognitive and behavioral impairments in patients with dysexecutive syndrome by their relatives

Abstract

The neurorehabilitation theme for patients after stroke or TBI became very popular in the latest decades not only for specialists but for ordinary people. In Russian Internet there are many web-sites with information concerning caregiving or physical therapy. At the same time information about cognitive disorders, especially dysexecutive syndrome is not available. Without correct information patient’s relatives or clinicians can easily get lost in the maze of problems that brain-injured patients and their families can present. To reduce the problem and explain the essence of dysexecutive syndrome the learning video was created and its efficiency was demonstrated.
