4 Initial Application of Constraint-Induced Cognitive Therapy to Long COVID Brain Fog Open
Objective: Persistent brain fog is common in adults with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), in whom it causes distress and in many cases interferes with performance of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and ret…

3 CI Cognitive Therapy: Initial Application in a Pilot Study to Improve Cognitive Impairment in Chronic Stroke Survivors Open
Objective: CI Cognitive Therapy (CICT) is a combination of behavioral techniques derived from CI Movement Therapy (CIMT) modified to apply to the cognitive domain, and Speed of (Cognitive) Processing Training (SOPT). SOPT is effective in i…
