| Popis: | Post stroke depression (PSD) is widely recognized as a complication in the rehabilitation process, and numerous studies have shown a relationship between depression and compromised outcome following stroke (e.g., Parikh, et al, 1990). Several studies have examined specific anatomic and physiological correlates of PSD. One of the more recent of these is the work of Astrom, Adolfsson, and Asplund (1993), in which the researchers found left anterior lesions to be among the most significant predictors of PSD in the acute stage of recovery. Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) has emerged has a useful, non-invasive, functional method of evaluating both neurological and psychiatric disorders. Using QEEG, Davidson and associates (e.g., Davidson & Tomarken, 1989) have consistently found greater left frontal alpha power to be associated with depression, and with tendency toward depression. Given the robustness of the relationship between QEEG patterns and depressive symptomatology, and given that th... |
