Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 32 post-stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in August–September 2014. An examination was conducted using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) to obtain the cognitive function profile of post-stroke patients.

Probable cognitive impairment were found in male and female patients who were in the age range of 50–60 years who were elementary school graduates and in the sub acute phase of stroke.
