 note = {The objective of this case study was to determine the effect of purposeful activity-based electrical stimulation therapy (PA-EST) on cognitive function using auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) in chronic stroke survivors. [Methods:] The participant was a female patient in her late 60s who presented with left-sided paresis. She had a subarachnoid haemorrhage about 20 years prior and a right thalamic haemorrhage five years prior. The participant received four phases of the PA-EST program (three months for each phase). Auditory ERPs, Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Motor Activity Log (MAL), Goal Attainment Scaling-Light (GAS-L), and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were used for evaluation before administration of the PA-EST intervention and following phases II and IV. [Results:] The P300 latency component of auditory ERPs (Fz, Cz, and Pz) shortened after phase II compared to the initial evaluation and did not change remarkably afterwards. FMA for the upper extremity, MAL amount of use, quality of movement, and GAS-L demonstrated improvements following phases II and IV. FMA for the upper extremity showed drastic improvement until phase II with minimal differences observed after this phase. There was a minimal difference in the MMSE scores during the observation period. [Conclusion:] The PA-EST program for survivors of chronic stroke with severe upper limb paresis may contribute to improvements in cognitive function., Original Article},
