  Background: Stroke patients majorly suffer from both motor and cognitive impairments. Rehabilitation programs focus more on treating motor impairments through using conventional treatments. However, if intact memory is required to perform motor functions; then can memory training/rehabilitation enhance motor recovery. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between memory deficits with upper limb motor dysfunction in patients with stroke. Materials and methods: Fifty stroke patients were recruited in this correlational study. Upper limb motor function was evaluated by the Fugl-Meyer Assessment- Upper Extremity (FMA-UE). Cognitive functions were evaluated by the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE). For correlation, data were imported into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 20.0) (Statistical .. Read More»
