Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that impaired self-awareness after acquired brain injury can result in limitations in activities of daily living and rehabilitation. However, the effectiveness of intervention for impaired self-awareness is uncertain. We provided task practice using behavioral strategy training to improve self-awareness for a subacute stroke patient with higher brain dysfunction. We found that she exhibited a significant improvement in self-awareness and performance on activity, although there was no significant change in physical functions and neuropsychological assessments. These findings suggest that this intervention for a subacute stroke patient with higher brain dysfunction may be useful for improving self-awareness as well as performance on activity.
