- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The main study parameter is a standardized scale measuring performance of IADL<br /><br>tasks before (baseline), after treatment (post treatment) and at follow-up.<br /><br>IADL tasks will be divided into multiple steps using the GMT method. These step<br /><br>will be assessed using three categories: 1) competent; 2)<br /><br>questionable/ineffective 3) deficit, using task-specific assessment forms.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>A secondary study parameter is the subjective experience of cognitive deficits<br />of participants, measured by the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). Goal attainment<br />scaling is a mathematical technique for quantifying the achievement of goals<br />set, used in rehabilitation. GAS is described as a method of scoring the extent<br />to which patient*s individual goals are achieved in the course of the<br />intervention. In effect, each patient has own outcome measures, but this is<br />scored in a standardized way as to allow statistical analysis.</p>
