Description

<p>  A PC-based therapeutic approach named cognitive rehabilitation was employed for two patients with memory deficits and insight loss caused by anosognosia-related basal forebrain amnesia and thalamic amnesia. In this cognitive rehabilitation, patients are shown videos taken during their rehabilitation sessions. What is shown consists of two parts. The first part provides some knowledge about cerebrovascular disease awareness and introduces images and music associated with various seasonal events. The second part shows the patients own activities during the rehabilitation. Here, in both patientʼs the cognitive rehabilitation produced a good process whereby anterograde memory improved after improvement of self-awareness, including awareness of disease. Although the two patientʼs degrees of improvement and requisite periods of rehabilitation differed, having them watch videos of their own rehabilitation (reality orientation & self-awareness video) was in both cases found to be beneficial for promoting awareness of amnesia, along with the possibility that such awareness may lead to improvement by self-recall of their disease properties.</p>
