Abstract

This is a literature review on the influence of perceptual-cognitive aspects in the performance of activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) in patients with neurological injury sequelae. In order to show how much these deficits impair the clients’ rehabilitation and their return to routine activities, the review shows that such activities - which seem apparently simple and are previously known by them - have to be learned again. On the other hand, the review shows that these aspects not only interfere with these tasks (for which the client can be more or less independent), but also that there are factors – motor, emotional, cultural, social, economic, and, mainly, familial – that can positively or negatively influence the patient and his rehabilitation. Three clinical cases seen at the Occupational Therapy Service will be presented in order to illustrate this review.
