Summary

Despite its lower incidence rate within the stroke population and tendency to affect younger individuals, SAH carries the highest risk of PSCI. The neural mechanisms underlying these cognitive deficits remain poorly understood, but potential factors include treatment approaches, underlying disease pathophysiology, post-disease complications, or alterations in neural connectivity\[10\]. Previous literature indicates that cognitive deficits in SAH primarily manifest in areas such as visuospatial skill, verbal memory language abilities (including verbal comprehension, verbal fluency, abstract language), executive function (working memory) and attention. These impairments significantly impact patients' ability to perform ADL independently and return to work, despite motor function recovery.

Conditions

  • Subarachnoid Aneurysm Hemorrhage

Interventions

OTHER

early motor-cognitive integrated training (e-MCIT)

Early motor-cognitive integrative training (e-MCIT) is an approach where motor and cognitive training are conducted simultaneously (illustrated in Table 1). The intervention consists of 30-minute sessions, conducted 4-5 times per week, until discharging from the hospital. Both motor and cognitive training have five stages each, and their progression is independent, meaning that during training, a participant might be in the fourth stage of motor training and the second stage of cognitive training. According to hospital's policy, occupational therapy and speech therapy will be provided in schedule if needed.

OTHER

Early mobilization

It progresses through various stages, including raising the head of the bed, sitting up, standing, transferring to a wheelchair, marching in place, and walking. Additionally, the training includes general rehabilitation activities such as range of motion exercises, bed exercises, strengthening exercise, balance training and motor facilitation. To regulate appropriate training, range of motion exercises begin with passive range of motion (PROM) exercises and progress to assisted-active range of motion (AAROM) and active range of motion (AROM) exercises gradually according to the participant's ability to follow instructions. These exercises include all upper and lower extremities. Bed exercises consist of mat exercises, which focus on the lower extremities and core muscles, and bed mobility training.
