Cognitive impairment is a common sequela in acquired brain injury and one that
predicts rehabilitation outcomes. There is emerging evidence that impairments in
cognitive functions can be manipulated by both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic
interventions to improve rehabilitation outcomes. By using stroke as a model for
acquired brain injury, we review the evidence that links cognitive impairment to
poor rehabilitation outcomes and discuss possible mechanisms to explain this
association. Furthermore, we examine nascent promising research that suggests
that interventions that target cognitive impairments can lead to better
rehabilitation outcomes.
