AB  - Cognitive dysfunction has been recognized as a key aspect
of schizophrenia evident even during remission of symptoms.
During the previous decade, interest in cognitive deficits has
increased due to the recognition of their key importance for
the functional outcome and degree of social adaptation. Prominent cognitive deficits are disorders of memory, attention and
executive functions that manifest themselves as a disorder
of verbal fluency, problems with serial learning, difficulty in
problem solving, and disturbance of executive functions. The
observed cognitive deficit is attributed to the dysfunction of
cortical-cerebellar-thalamic circuits. Social cognition is the
ability to construct an image of relationships between oneself
and others and the ability to use flexible mental constructs as
a guide to social interactions. The data from previous studies
strongly support the association of neurocognitive and sociocognitive deficits with the performance of independent functioning and quality of life, emphasizing the need for prevention and treatment of cognitive deficits.
AB  - Kognitivna disfunkcija je prepoznata kao ključni aspekt šizofrenije, očigledan čak i tokom remisije simptoma.
Tokom prethodne decenije povećano je interesovanje za
kognitivne deficite zbog prepoznavanja njihovog ključnog
značaja za funkcionalni ishod i stepen socijalne adaptacije.
Izraženi kognitivni deficiti su poremećaji pamćenja, pažnje
i izvršnih funkcija koji se manifestuju kao poremećaj verbalne fluentnosti, problemi sa serijskim učenjem, teškoće
u rešavanju problema i poremećaj izvršnih funkcija.
Uočeni kognitivni deficit se pripisuje disfunkciji kortikalno
– cerebelarno - talamičkih kortikalnih kola. Socijalna kognicija je sposobnost da se konstruiše slika odnosa između
sebe i drugih i sposobnost korišćenja fleksibilnih mentalnih konstrukata kao vodiča za društvene interakcije. Podaci iz prethodnih studija snažno podržavaju povezanost
neurokognitivnih i sociokognitivnih deficita sa performansama samostalnog funkcionisanja i kvalitetom života,
naglašavajući potrebu za prevencijom i lečenjem kognitivnih deficita.

AB  - In the last few decades, there has been a lot of talk about the problem of cognitive deficit in neurological patients, as well as the connection with motor impairments, with an emphasis on gait function. Multiple cognitive effects on walking, movement control and certain behaviors during walking have been observed. Preservation of cognitive functions is of special importance for the rehabilitation of neurological patients. Purpose: The main goal of the research is based on the comparison of motor function and gait parameters with cognitive impairment in the examined patients after stroke. Methods: The study included 50 examined neurological patients after stroke, with diagnosed hemiparesis and completed early rehabilitation. The following were used to assess cognitive functioning: Mini Mental State Examination - MMSE; WCST - Wisconsin card sorting test and Trail Making Test - TMT A / B. The Functional Ambulation Category - FAC test was used to assess movement function. Results: The results show that the examined patients after stroke with cognitive impairment have lower walking speed, lower walking frequency and shorter stride length than the examined patients after stroke without cognitive impairment, the difference is statistically significant. The results support the claim that there are specific cognitive deficits in patients after stroke, which may have an impact on the motor difficulties of these patients. Conclusion: One of the important goals of the rehabilitation process is to help the patient achieve the highest possible level of functional independence, within which walking is a basic component of independent functioning. The practical significance of the research can be fully confirmed, if the established connection is significant for the application of cognitive rehabilitation within medical rehabilitation and enable the achievement of a high degree of functional independence of neurological patients.

AB  - Neuropsychological tests are specially designed tasks used to assess cognitive function, known to be related to a particular brain structure or pathway. The modern approach in neuropsychological assessment involves the application of the test in a computer application. This approach has many advantages, simple application of other technology and sensors, to get as informative the data. The purpose of this research was to analyze the possibilities for realization of certain neuropsychological tests in the form of computer applications, with the use of an additional sensor and application of the data obtained in rehabilitation. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test - WCST, a card sorting test, was used as an example of the test. The survey included 20 respondents from the regular population, ages 17-29, selected by the random sample method, who voluntarily accepted to participate in the research. Respondents solved the test in a computer application with an additional sensor attached to an Emotiv Epoc Electroencephalograph. The results show that it takes less time to solve the test in a computer application and that errors that the examiner may make are excluded. Moreover, the additional sensor provides accurate data on registered features that can be used in diagnostics as well as in rehabilitation. All this information cannot otherwise be obtained by the usual test method.

AB  - Introduction: The realization of sports activities of persons with disabilities requires, above all, the accessibility of sports facilities and sports grounds. Architectural barriers are physical barriers within a built environment, which restrict or completely disable the wheelchair users. The aim of the research was to examine which architectural barriers persons with spinal cord injuries­paraplegia who were engaged in sports recreationally or professionally encountered. Methodology: The sample consisted of 26 persons with spinal cord injury­paraplegia, both gender, who were active in sports and trained at least 2­3 times a week. The research was conducted in Belgrade, in the Home for Adult Disabled Persons, in the Association of paraplegics and quadriplegic 'Dunav', Athletic club 'Pogledi', Wheelchair Basketball club 'Dunav', Table tennis club for persons with disabilities of Belgrade 'STIB' and the Sports and recreation association 'Everything is Possible'. For research purposes, a questionnaire covering general sociodemographic characteristics and architectural barriers that persons encountered when they were engaged in sports was constructed. Conclusion: The most common architectural barriers encountered by athletes with spinal cord injuries­paraplegia are unadjusted wheelchair ramps (73.1%) and parking spaces (69.2%).

AB  - Objectives. Studying the quality of life of people with a spinal cord injury is of great importance as it allows the monitoring of both functioning and adaptation to disability. The aim of this study was to determine the difference between persons with a spinal cord injury involved in sports activities and those not involved in sports activities in relation to their quality of life and the presence of secondary health conditions (pressure ulcers, urinary infections, muscle spasms, osteoporosis, pain, kidney problems-infections, calculosis and poor circulation). Methods. The study included a total of 44 participants with spinal cord injury-paraplegia of both genders; 26 of them were athletes and 18 were not athletes. The athletes were training actively for the last two years, minimally 2-3 times per week. A specially designed questionnaire, medical documentation and the Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Questionnaire (SCI QL-23) were used for research purposes. Chi-square test was used to analyze the differences between the groups, while multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine the differences between the sets of variables. Results. Among the participants, the athletes perceived higher quality of life than the non-athletes (male gender p lt 0.001 and female gender p lt 0.05). Regarding secondary health conditions, the athletes reported the presence of less pain (p=0.034) and a subjective feeling of better circulation (p=0.023). Conclusion. The implementation of sports activities significantly improves quality of life in the population of people with spinal cord injury-paraplegia. However, sports activities only partially affect secondary health conditions.

AB  - Introduction It has been assumed that there is causality of the achieved level of functional independence with the degree of preservation of cognitive function in stroke patients. Demographic characteristics may be important for monitoring the achieved level of functional independence. Objective The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of demographic characteristics and functional independence in regard to the level of cognitive impairment in stroke patients. Methods The study included 50 stroke patients after rehabilitation, as well as age- and gender-matched 50 subjects selected randomly, according to the demographic characteristics of the studied sample, who in their medical history had no neurological disorders. For the assessment of functional independence, the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) test was used. The general cognition was estimated by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) test. The statistical analyses included the Mann-Whitney test, for two independent samples, measures of canonical correlation, and χ2 test. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in relation to risk factors, hypertension and diabetes mellitus type II (p lt 0.001); There was a statistically significant difference within the groups in relation to the cognitive impairment in all the examined demographic characteristics (p lt 0.001); the differences within the groups in relation to the cognitive impairment are present on all subscales of the FIM test (p lt 0.05); the differences within the groups in relation to handedness, hemiparesis, show that mild cognitive impairment is more common among left hemiparesis, while a more severe one is more common among right-sided hemiparesis (p lt 0.05); More severe cognitive impairment is common among women, the elderly and in persons with lower education (p lt 0.05). Conclusion By prevention of risk factors, and prevention of possible cognitive impairment, consequences of stroke can be reduced, the recovery can be made more successful, and quality of life can be improved.

AB  - Objective: The rehabilitation of stroke patients is complex. It is believed that there is a correlation between the quality of functional independence and degree of preserved executive and cognitive functions. The aim of this work was to investigate potential correlations between the quality of executive and cognitive functions and the achieved level of functional independence during the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Material and Methods: The study included 50 stroke patients evaluated during rehabilitation and 50 beneficiaries of the Gerontology Center as control subjects randomly chosen, with no diagnosed neurological damage. The following tests were used: Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) for executive function assessment, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive screening, and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) test for functional independence assessment. The statistical analyses included the Mann-Whitney U test for comparisons between two independent samples, canonical correlation analysis, and.2-test. Results: Our results show a statistically significant difference in all assessed functions between the two groups (p  lt  .001). Furthermore, we show a positive correlation between executive functions and achieved functional independence in stroke patients (p  lt  .001). Moreover, a positive correlation exists between cognitive functions and level of functional independence in stroke patients. Conclusion: Our results show that stroke patients with lower executive function scores achieve less functional independence. Stroke patients with existing cognitive impairment achieve less functional independence in all domains compared with stroke patients without cognitive impairment.

AB  - It is considered that cognitive function and attention could affect walking, motion control, and proper conduct during the walk. To determine whether there is a difference in the quality of attention and cognitive ability in stroke patients and patients without neurological damage of similar age and education and to determine whether the connection of attention and cognition affects motor skills, the sample consisted of 50 stroke patients tested with hemiparesis, involved in the process of rehabilitation, and 50 persons, randomly chosen, without neurological damage. The survey used the following tests: Trail Making (TMT A B) test for assessing the flexibility of attention; Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive status; Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) test to assess the functional status and parameters of walk: speed, frequency, and length of stride; STEP test for assessing the precision of movement and balance. With stroke patients, relationship between age and performance on the MMSE test was marginally significant. The ratio of performance to TMT A B test and years does not indicate statistical significance, while statistical significance between the MMSE test performance and education exists. In stroke patients, performance on MMSE test is correlated with the frequency and length of stride walk. The quality of cognitive function and attention is associated with motor skills but differs in stroke patients and people without neurological damage of similar age. The significance of this correlation can supplement research in neurorehabilitation, improve the quality of medical rehabilitation, and contribute to efficient recovery of these patients.

AB  - Executive functions refer to a number of cognitive processes that use and modify information from cortical sensory systems in the anterior and posterior regions of the brain, so they could alter and produce behavior and movement. These integrative functions, including motor and behavioral components are necessary for effective aimed actions that represent base for performing activities of daily living. The most important components of executive functions are selection of the goal, planning, inhibition of irrelevant responses and impulse, monitoring and control activities, as well as the evaluation of the action outcome. Attention control, working memory and temporal organized behavior, also stand out as a special executive functions. Cognitive impairment after a stroke may be complex, particularly for the involvement of the cerebral hemisphere or the frontal lobes, and depending on the lesion, executive function could be more or less effective. The function of the walking is the most compromised motor function. The subject of this study was to examine the correlation between executive functions, attention and walk disorders after a stroke and how that relation influences the recovery process and achievement of functional independence in patients. Within the aim of the research, the relation between the levels of organization activities, attention and walk disorders in patients after a stroke had been analyzed. The examined sample consisted of 50 patients after a stroke, included in the rehabilitation process and 50 patients randomly chosen, matched by age and general characteristics, which in its medical history and neurological examination, had no symptoms of acute or chronic neurological disease. For the evaluation of executive functions, attention, cognitive state, the Tests for the evaluation of motor functions including the evaluation of all gait parameters and the Test for the evaluation of functional abilities have been used in the paper. The received results show that the patients after stroke have a statistically important lower achievement at the Test for evaluation of attention (p>.001), a statistically important lower achievement at the Test of executive functions (p>.001), that 72% of examinees have a minor cognitive disorder, while 6% of the examinees have a major cognitive disorder after a stroke. The obtained results also show a statistically important lower efficiency in all examined motor functions, in the gait frequency (p>.01), gait speed (p>.001), the length of pace (p>.001), the motor leg index (p>.001), obstacle management and balance keeping (p>.001). The results confirm the existence of a statistically important difference in all examined variables between the two groups of examinees (p>.001). A statistically important difference in results of the right-sided and left-sided hemiparesis of the examined patients after the stroke had been noticed at executive functions (p>.05), while at motor functions the difference is of no statistical importance. Within the group of after-stroke patients there is a statistically important link between the level of cognitive damage and the examined parameters of walk (p>.05). Furthermore, within the group of after-stroke patients there is a statistically important link between the level of cognitive damage and functional ability (p>.05).

abstract = "Executive functions refer to a number of cognitive processes that use and modify information from cortical sensory systems in the anterior and posterior regions of the brain, so they could alter and produce behavior and movement. These integrative functions, including motor and behavioral components are necessary for effective aimed actions that represent base for performing activities of daily living. The most important components of executive functions are selection of the goal, planning, inhibition of irrelevant responses and impulse, monitoring and control activities, as well as the evaluation of the action outcome. Attention control, working memory and temporal organized behavior, also stand out as a special executive functions. Cognitive impairment after a stroke may be complex, particularly for the involvement of the cerebral hemisphere or the frontal lobes, and depending on the lesion, executive function could be more or less effective. The function of the walking is the most compromised motor function. The subject of this study was to examine the correlation between executive functions, attention and walk disorders after a stroke and how that relation influences the recovery process and achievement of functional independence in patients. Within the aim of the research, the relation between the levels of organization activities, attention and walk disorders in patients after a stroke had been analyzed. The examined sample consisted of 50 patients after a stroke, included in the rehabilitation process and 50 patients randomly chosen, matched by age and general characteristics, which in its medical history and neurological examination, had no symptoms of acute or chronic neurological disease. For the evaluation of executive functions, attention, cognitive state, the Tests for the evaluation of motor functions including the evaluation of all gait parameters and the Test for the evaluation of functional abilities have been used in the paper. The received results show that the patients after stroke have a statistically important lower achievement at the Test for evaluation of attention (p>.001), a statistically important lower achievement at the Test of executive functions (p>.001), that 72% of examinees have a minor cognitive disorder, while 6% of the examinees have a major cognitive disorder after a stroke. The obtained results also show a statistically important lower efficiency in all examined motor functions, in the gait frequency (p>.01), gait speed (p>.001), the length of pace (p>.001), the motor leg index (p>.001), obstacle management and balance keeping (p>.001). The results confirm the existence of a statistically important difference in all examined variables between the two groups of examinees (p>.001). A statistically important difference in results of the right-sided and left-sided hemiparesis of the examined patients after the stroke had been noticed at executive functions (p>.05), while at motor functions the difference is of no statistical importance. Within the group of after-stroke patients there is a statistically important link between the level of cognitive damage and the examined parameters of walk (p>.05). Furthermore, within the group of after-stroke patients there is a statistically important link between the level of cognitive damage and functional ability (p>.05).",

AB  - Calculia is considered to be the ability of performing arithmetic operations. Problems in acquiring arithmetic skills can be described as difficulties in counting as well as developmental dyscalculia. The most comman difficulties in counting are: difficulties in logic, difficulties in planning, perseverance of inappropriate (responses) procedures and poor understanding of arithmetic operations. The aim of the research is to determine the influence of executive functions on the acquisition of mathematical skills and the appearance of dyscalculia at junior schoolchildren. It is operation analized in the following way: - the determination of the relationship between the ability levels of planning and forming of concepts (as elements of executive functioning) and mastering of mathematical skills of junior schoolchildren - the determination of the relationship between the elements of executive systems (abilities of planning, flexibility of attention and mental rigidity) at children with difficulties in mastering mathematical skills. Following tests of neuropsychological test battery were used. The examined variables: planning; perseverance; mental rigidity. WCST- WISCONSIN CARD SORTING TEST - used for evaluation, is the best-known test for the discovery of perseverance and mental rigidity. Control variables are: sex, age and deviant intellect quotient. In accordance with the set goal of the research to determine the influence of the examined characteristic of EF and their influence on the acquisition of mathematical skills and the appearance of difficulties in it, we concluded that the influence existed and that the role of EF in the acquisition of mathematical skills at junior primary schoolchildren was considerable. The assertion was based on the results which, at children with calculation difficulties, show low efficiency and high connection of the examined cognitive characteristics of EF (p lt 0,01). At children who do not show calculation difficulties, the examined characteristics of EF show high efficiency without any statistically important connection (p>0,01).
