Introduction: The stroke compromises the function of the affected brain areas, affecting
sensorimotor, cognitive and behavioral functions, resulting in deficits that compromise the
functionality, interfering in occupations and can have a negative influence on the individual's
satisfaction and participation in achieving ADL's and IADL's. Objective: To understand the
relationship between functionality and satisfaction in performing ADLs and IADL's in
patients affected by stroke, through the cognitive rehabilitation approach. Methodology: The
study is characterized as a longitudinal study of pre and post intervention, qualitative nature
through single case study, affected patient by stroke, the sessions were performed in
outpatient and at home, for the period from May to August 2016 by setting up in 17 visits,
data collection was performed at the beginning and end of the study, through KATZ
protocols, MIF, COPM and through registration of changes in order to measure the
functionality and evaluate satisfaction of individuals in performing ADLs and IADL's.
Results: KATZ index at baseline showed dependence requiring human assistance in ADLs
dressing, feeding and transfer, and revaluation found independence in all ADLs. The MIF
presented the modified dependency initial assessment and reassessment scored as full or
modified independence. The COPM presented in changing score 25 points in performance
and satisfaction 29 points. The records of developments corroborate the results of the
protocols. Discussion: The results showed significant improvement in functionality and
satisfaction of ADLs and IADL's, with relationship between them, and revealed by the results
of the protocols and through analysis of the evolutions of the sessions. Conclusion: This way
the functionality and satisfaction have an intrinsic relationship in cognitive rehabilitation
process focusing on ADLs and IADL's, in patients affected by stroke, there by contributing to
improving the quality of life of patients.
