Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Performance on a neuropsychological test assessing emotion recognition.
Secondary outcome
Performance on neuropsychological tests assessing other cognitive functions,
including executive functioning, (working) memory and attention.
Background summary
Whereas cerebellar damage was originally related to problems in fine motor
functions, it has in the past decades been found that it can cause various
cognitive consequences as well, including problems in higher-order, frontal
regulated cognitive functions such as deficits in emotion recognition. Deficits
in emotion recognition can have profound consequences for adequate social
functioning. However, the number of studies assessing the role of emotion
recognition deficits after cerebellar lesions is limited. Therefore, the
proposed study will assess emotion recognition in patients with discrete,
cerebellar lesions. We expect impaired emotion recognition in these patients.
Study objective
Assessment of emotion recognition in patients who suffered an ischemic
cerebellar stroke in the past 3 years.
Study design
non-interventional, observational study.
Study burden and risks
There are no known risks for the proposed study. Patients are invited for one
visit at the UMCG. Assessment takes about 1,5 hours. Patient may get tired, but
can have breaks during the assessment. There are no direct benefits for
patients. However, more knowledge about emotion recognition problems after
cerebellar lesions could improve rehabilitation in these patients.
