Objective: The purpose of this research was to investigate and compare the effects of cognitive training and Tai Chi on the cognitive performance and quality of life of patients with stroke.
Methods: This study employed a semi-experimental design that included pre-test and post-test assessments with a control group. The sample consisted of 45 male patients with stroke who were randomly assigned to three groups: cognitive training, Tai Chi, and a control group. Cognitive performance and quality of life were measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale, respectively. A computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program and a modified form of Tai Chi exercises were implemented weekly over a period of two months. Data analysis was conducted using repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: The results indicated that cognitive performance scores improved in the cognitive exercise and Tai Chi groups compared to the control group in the post-test (F=5.134, P=0.010); however, no significant difference was found between the cognitive exercise and Tai Chi groups. Additionally, the findings demonstrated an improvement in quality-of-life scores in the cognitive exercise and Tai Chi groups compared to the control group in the post-test (F=4.013, P=0.025), with no significant difference observed between the two exercise groups.
Conclusion: Cognitive training and Tai Chi may have positive effects on the cognitive abilities and quality of life of patients with stroke, and they can be recognized as effective strategies for enhancing cognitive performance and overall well-being in individuals with stroke.
