Resumo(s)
Cognitive impairments impose important limitations in
the performance of activities of daily living. Although there is
important evidence on cognitive rehabilitation benefits, its
implementation is limited due to the demands in terms of time and
human resources. Moreover, many cognitive rehabilitation
interventions lack a solid theoretical framework in the selection of
paper-and-pencil tasks by the clinicians. In this endeavor, it would be
useful to have a tool that could generate standardized paper-and pencil tasks, customized according to patients’ needs. Combining the
advantages of information and communication technologies (ICT’s)
with a participatory design approach involving 20 health
professionals, a novel web-tool for the generation of cognitive
rehabilitation training was developed: the Task Generator (TG). The
TG is a web-based tool that systematically addresses multiple
cognitive domains, and easily generates highly personalized paper and-pencil training tasks. A clinical evaluation of the TG with twenty
stroke patients showed that, by enabling the adaptation of task
parameters and difficulty levels according to patient cognitive
assessment, this tool provides a comprehensive cognitive training.
