Summary
This study tested whether combining somatotherapy (body awareness and movement exercises) with occupational therapy (training in daily tasks like dressing and cooking) could improve cognitive function in 50 adults who had a stroke. Participants received 35-minute sessions five days a week for four weeks. Their thinking skills were measured before and after using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The goal was to see if this rehab approach helps with memory, attention, and problem-solving after a stroke.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this combination therapy could become a standard rehab approach to help stroke survivors regain cognitive abilities like memory and attention.
