Applying cognitive stimulation and rehabilitation to patients who have suffered a stroke
CogniFit gives you the ability to compare standardized patient data with your reference population, making it easier to understand the specific user issues that have arisen as a result of a stroke. Knowing the pattern of strengths and weaknesses can help you plan your treatment and monitor your progress.
CogniFit brain training can be applied both in the professional's office and/or remotely at home. The professional can schedule the interval between sessions and will always have access to a complete report of results, effort, progress and cognitive evolution of the patient.
Investigate brain functions by studying the different cognitive alterations after a stroke
CogniFit platform for researchers is focused on optimizing the process of collecting, managing and analyzing the data collected during training, saving time for both patients and the research team.
Trained cognitive skills
Trained cognitive skills
Strokes have different patterns of cognitive alterations and can be unique in each case. For this reason, CogniFit stroke recovery training has chosen the most common cognitive alterations in this type of brain injury:
Memory
The ability to retain or use new information and recover memories of the past. Memory allows us to store internal representations of knowledge in our brain and retain events from the past to use them in the future. Learning is a key process in memory because it makes it possible to incorporate new information or modify existing information in the previous mental schemas. After this coding and storage, the information, the memory, or the learning should be prepared to be recovered in the future. The hippocampus is a key brain structure in the mnesic process, and works actively during sleep to consolidate the information acquired during the day.

Naming
Ability to refer to an object, person, place, concept or entity by name. To name an object we need to "go" to the lexical storehouse of our brain, find the specific word we are looking for and produce it. In addition to amnesia, people who have had a stroke may have difficulty finding the names of objects or even people they know and care about (anomia or anomic aphasia).

Perception
Ability to interpret the stimuli of the environment. Perception is responsible for identifying and making sense of the information received from our sensory organs based on our prior knowledge of the world. Perception is a process that can be given by different senses (like sight, hearing, touch, etc.), and that our brain is responsible for integrating, giving it a sense of whole. The brain areas associated to perception are responsible for uniting the information perceived by the different sensory organs so that we can interact effectively with external stimuli, regardless of the stimulated sensory organ. In order for the perceptual process to be carried out properly, a process of assimilation and understanding of the information received will be necessary.

Spatial Perception
Ability to be aware of their relationship with the environment in the space around us and with ourselves. This ability can be altered after a stroke, causing agnosia or problems when interacting with the environment.

Reasoning
Ability to efficiently use (order, relate, etc.) the information acquired through the different senses. Through executive functions, we can access and use the information acquired in order to achieve complex goals. This set of superior processes makes it possible for us to relate, classify, order and plan our ideas or actions according to the needs that are imposed in the present or future. They allow us to be flexible and adapt to the environment. The executive functions make it possible to be effective in our day to day lives, solve problems and achieve our objectives even if there are modifications in the original plan.

Processing Speed
It refers to the time it takes a person to do a mental task. This ability is very sensitive to brain damage, as even a moderate alteration of the brain's white matter can affect our processing speed. It is quite common for a person after a stroke to require more time than usual to do the same task.

Attention
Ability to filter distractions and focus on relevant information. Attention accompanies every cognitive process and is in charge of assigning cognitive resources depending on the relevance of both internal and external stimuli. Good attention skills are necessary for other high-level processes, like memory or planning. Attention is an essential process that requires the use of different parts of the brain, from the brainstem or the parietal cortex, to the prefrontal cortex. However, it seems that the right hemisphere has a predominant role in controlling attention. This cognitive area makes it possible to stay alert and pay attention to the stimuli when other irrelevant distractors are present, concentration for long periods of time, alternating attention between different activities, or dividing attention when two events are happening at the same time.

Focused Attention
The brain's ability to concentrate its attention on a target stimulus for any period of time. Brain damage to the parietal cortex can cause inability to detect stimuli and attend to them as soon as they occur on the contralateral side of the injury, known as hemispatial neglect.

What will CogniFit cognitive stroke recovery training achieve?
What will CogniFit cognitive stroke recovery training achieve?
CogniFit cognitive stimulation allows people who have had a stroke to work on their impaired cognitive abilities. With the right stimulation, it is possible to recover cognitive abilities or increase patient autonomy.
- A correct brain training can help improve your cognitive state through specific tasks oriented to improve, restructure or restore the skills altered by the stroke.
- The brain has the ability to modify and reorganize both its functioning and structure to optimize the performance of different cognitive abilities after brain damage through constant and personalized training.
- Cognitive rehabilitation exercises are effective in retraining the affected skills resulting from the stroke. Cognitive training can be beneficial for both for the impaired cognitive functions and those that have been less affected.
- This cognitive training seeks to reduce the long-term impact of the stroke on the life of the person and their loved ones. CogniFit neurorehabilitation and training can help maximize the autonomy of the affected person and thus improve their quality of life.
- Cognitive rehabilitation does not have the ability to activate the functioning of damaged brain tissue. However, thanks to cortical reorganization, it can stimulate adjacent, healthy or less affected areas of the brain to recover some of the lost functions, activate and establish new neuronal connections.
How does it strengthen cognitive function?
How does it strengthen cognitive function?
Brain plasticity is the neural mechanism that allows us to stimulate, through CogniFit activities, the different cognitive abilities affected in a stroke.
Neural networks that have been affected by brain damage stop working, or reduce their efficiency. However, if adequate stimulation is applied, brain plasticity can help nearby or similar areas adopt the altered functions. CogniFit training for stroke cognitive recovery allows us to address this phenomenon in a way that stimulates the cognitive abilities that most interests us. By repeating these patterns of neural activation through training, it is possible to help strengthen the synapses and neural circuits involved.
CogniFit personalized cognitive stimulation program is designed to stimulate the adaptive potential of the nervous system. Specific training for stroke patients is available, as long as they have access to a computer.

Using a scientifically based tool for cognitive stimulation post-stroke offers many advantages:
Easy to use
Using electronic devices can be complicated for a person who has had a stroke. That's why CogniFit has designed its platform in an easy and simple way to make it intuitive and easy to remember.
Highly attractive
Lack of motivation is one of the most relevant factors in stroke rehabilitation that can make treatment more difficult. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for motivation to be affected as a direct or indirect consequence of stroke. This is why the activities for training are presented in an attractive way, in order to minimize the negative consequences of lack of motivation.
Interactive and visual format
The reading comprehension of the person who has had a stroke may also be impaired. To avoid this, the instructions are presented in a simple, interactive format that is easy to understand.
Complete results report
After each training session, CogniFit provides access to updated data so that we can get quick and accurate feedback, seeing our strongest and weakest cognitive abilities.
Progress and evolution
Seeing progress in treatment is something that promotes motivation during stroke rehabilitation. The results of each session are stored in the user profile and can be viewed at any time. You can check whether there have been changes from one session to another, whether the scores are improving and whether the patient's cognitive status is progressing positively.
Adapted to each user
All of the clinical tasks are presented automatically. The games and activities are interactive and fun, making it easy to understand.
Tele-stimulation
CogniFit post-stroke training can be used at home (cognitive remote-stimulation). In this way, a health professional or a family member can manage the treatment from a private computer. This makes it possible to bring cognitive therapy for patients who have had a stroke without having to be physically present, reducing costs.
What happens if you don't train your cognitive skills?
What happens if you don't train your cognitive skills?
Stroke, and brain damage in general causes the death of several neurons and the alteration or degeneration of certain neuronal networks , depending on different factors. This can end up causing different neuropsychological symptoms, affecting various cognitive abilities and, therefore, seriously impairing a person's day-to-day performance.
To stimulate these altered mental processes, they must be activated systematically. One of the most effective tools for activating and strengthening the major cognitive functions altered by stroke is CogniFit training post-stroke. This leading program in cognitive stimulation offers a multi-dimensional and systematic training of each cognitive skill, which helps activate fundamental neural patterns.
