Janeth, Age 35
Janeth’s Cognitive Recovery After Stroke
Janeth regained the sharp focus and complex thinking
needed for physics and mathematics.
Janeth is a quantum physicist at Ohio state. She had a stroke but was fortunate to get early treatment (TPA) when it occurred. Although she had no lingering motor deficits, she could not concentrate or do the complex math and thinking required of her.
She tried all different kinds of cognitive therapies that were advised. Nothing worked. She was told she should change her career because she was unable to perform.
Then Janeth reached out to us to start the 12-week NeuroAnimation program.
NeuroAnimation Results
About a month into our program, everyone around her started to notice a huge difference. She was more motivated, upbeat, and most importantly, was able to concentrate for longer durations.
Over the next 8 weeks, these gains were so dramatic, she was completely able to perform as a physicist again. Not only was this noted by her friends, family, and colleagues, but this was objectively measured by the cognitive assessments we were performing.
Janeth showed a comprehensive improvement of 92% in cognitive functioning. Specifically:
- 63.6% improvement in pure processing speed
- 108.6% improvement in attention
- 142.2% improvement in impulsivity, speed and accuracy
- 63.1% improvement in executive capacity, visual scanning, learning
- 57% improvement in spatial manipulation
- 72% improvement in working memory
- 41% improvement in short-term memory
What was also remarkable is that Janeth self-reported improvement in her peripheral vision. This boosted her confidence, and she was able to drive on the freeway again for the first time since her stroke.
