Abstract

Executive impairment is common after stroke, which causes in disabilities for controling thinking, emotion and behavior. The etiology is uncertain. There is no specific assessment tool for it. The psychological assessment is the main approach to screen and diagnose executive impairment, including screening and specific examination. There are still some advantages and disadvantages. The strategy for rehabilitation includes recovery, compulsory and adaptive treatment. Medication is the main treatment, but still unsatisfactory. Cognitive training, computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation and transcranial direct current stimulation and so on are applied. Imaging and physiological electrical techniques are needed.

Key words： stroke; executive impairment; evaluation; rehabilitation; review
