METHOD FOR CORRECTION OF COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT ACCOMPANYING CEREBROVASCULAR PATHOLOGY Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61M21/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely neurology and may be used in the cognitive function recovery, including optical perception in the patients with a cerebrovascular pathology. A patient is presented with an image on a monitor, and additionally a number of images of sharp traced objects; one of the images shows an 'noisy' object. The patient identifies the 'noisy' object by recognising and selecting the object among the presented versions. The patient is given with a maximum period of time specified by a doctor that when expired is accompanied with evaluating the task and presenting the results on the monitor. The score presented to the patient is directly proportional to a 'noise' density of the image followed by the correct answer of the patient and calculated by formula: $$D=\left(1-\frac{Тresp-Тchange}{Тtest}\right)\ast 100\%,$$ wherein D is a noise density wherein the patient has given the correct answer, %; T resp. is the time taken by the patient to give the correct answer, seconds; T change is a period of time for the image presentation until the noise density is changed by 1 pitch, seconds; T test is a maximum time of test also specified by the doctor. The evaluation is accompanied by the visual and/or audial aids; the correction lessons take for at least 10 days, once a day, with one lesson for no more than 40 min.

EFFECT: method enables improving the patient's motivation to lessons and increasing the rehabilitation effectiveness in an acute and chronic cerebrovascular pathology.
