Impacto de los programas de rehabilitación cognitiva llevados a cabo durante los años 2009-2020 en Latinoamérica y España, en personas con accidente cerebro vascular mediante revisión documental

Abstract

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is defined as an injury to the brain that occurs after birth and is not related to congenital or degenerative diseases. The consequences of brain damage can have important consequences that will bring about dependency problems that will affect both the patient himself and his family. The main objective of this work is to analyze the impact that cognitive rehabilitation programs have had on people who have suffered a cerebrovascular accident. The design is based on an empirical analytical paradigm, through a documentary review, with a quantitative and descriptive approach. In Latin America, there is a tendency in publications to prioritize research rather than the design of intervention programs. Most of the publications reviewed took place in Spain. This type of review is useful to respond to this need. However, the results found highlight the importance of implementing cognitive rehabilitation programs in time, in order to recover the patient's level of functionality and to favor an adaptation to the context as close as possible to what it was before the vascular event.
