Journal Article 2019 03 03 <strong>Aim: </strong>Nowadays stroke is one of the most common disabling neurological diseases in the world. Cognitive complications are common problems in people with stroke. So the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on working memory function in the patients with stroke. <strong>Method</strong>: The present study is a quasi- experimental investigation using a pretest- posttest design and a control group. 30 stroke patients aged 30-65 who had the inclusion criteria, were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Experimental group trained for 21 sessions with Captain’s Log Cognitive Rehabilitation Software and control group did not receive any intervention. Wechsler working Memory Test (Number Memory Scale) and Cambridge Spatial Working Memory Test was applied at pretest and posttest. <strong>Findings:</strong> The results of ANCOVA analysis indicated that a significant difference between the means of working memory in experimental and control groups. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Our findings indicated that computer-based cognitive rehabilitation improved working memory in people with stroke and it can be used as an effective and helpful method to improve memory performance of these patients. <br />  <strong>Aim: </strong>Nowadays stroke is one of the most common disabling neurological diseases in the world.
