简要总结
Background: Stroke often leads to impairments in cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and problem-solving, along with poor sleep quality. These issues can slow down recovery and reduce quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions like Brain Gym—a series of simple, structured physical and mental exercises—are believed to enhance brain function, improve neural connections, and promote relaxation. Previous research has shown Brain Gym’s potential benefits in children and older adults, but its role in stroke rehabilitation, especially in improving both cognition and sleep, is less explored.
Purpose of the Trial: This study aims to investigate the effect of Brain Gym exercises on cognitive performance and sleep quality in individuals recovering from stroke. By assessing changes before and after a structured Brain Gym intervention, the trial seeks to determine whether this approach can be an effective, low-cost addition to conventional stroke rehabilitation.
