45 participants in 3 patient groups

Computer Assisted Cognitive Rehabilitation

Experimental group

Description:

Patients will receive their therapies 1 day a day, 2-3 days a week. The computer-aided cognitive rehabilitation group will perform simulation-based exercises, including exercises related to attention, in a special computer program (Cogniplus TR version) during therapy hours, and patients will progress to the difficulty level automatically. Their performance during this process (response time etc.) will be recorded.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Computer Assited Cognitive rehabilitation

Conventional Cognitive Rehabilitation

Experimental group

Description:

The home (paper pen) exercise group will take the necessary exercises on paper suitable for their respective levels and the daily tasks suitable for their functional needs and interests.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Conventional Cognitive Rehabilitation

Waiting list controls

No Intervention group

Description:

These patients will get no intervention as means of cognitive rehabilitation, but will get their usual treatments.
