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  - 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).
