This study aimed to investigate the effects of cognitive training using a tablet PC application on cognition, depression and anxiety in patients with stroke. In this study, five patients with stroke undergoing rehabilitation received cognitive training using a tablet PC application for 30 minutes per session, three times per week during 6 weeks. An initial evaluation was conducted by one researcher, and then a reevaluation was made six weeks later. All evaluations in this study were conducted by one single researcher to ensure consistency in the evaluation. The results of comparing the MMSE-K scores before and after the cognitive training using a tablet PC application showed that there was a statistically significant increase in the MMSE-K score from 22.40 ± 0.55 points before the intervention to 24.40 ± 0.55 points after the intervention (p=0.04, p <.05). The results of comparing the scores of the Korean version of the Trail Marking Test-A for elderly persons before and after the intervention showed that there was a statistically significant decrease in from 64.63±11.62 seconds before the intervention to 52.80±11.91 seconds after the intervention (p=0.04, p<.05). The results of comparing the scores of the Korean version of the Trail Marking Test-B for elderly persons before and after the intervention showed that there was a statistically significant decrease in from 136.06±17.65 seconds before the intervention to 120.65±17.13 seconds after the intervention (p=0.04, p< .05). The results of comparing the Digit Span (DS) scores before and after the intervention showed that there was a change in score from 3.40 ± 0.55 point before the intervention to 3.80 ± 0.45 point after the intervention, but it was not statistically significant (p=0.16, p >.05). The results of comparing the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores before and after the intervention showed that there was a statistically significant decrease in BDI score from 21.80 ± 12.19 points before the intervention to 20.00 ± 11.33 points after the intervention (p= 0.04, p<.05). The results of comparing of comparing Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) before and after the intervention showed that there was a statistically significant decrease in BAI score from 34.40±13.96 to 29.20±12.97 (p= 0.04, p<.05).
Therefore, the results of this study provided additional evidence to previous studies revealing that smart device application-based cognitive training improved cognitive function. Furthermore, it is thought that tablet PCs can be effectively used for emotional problems such as depression and anxiety in stroke patients.
