Abstract

Introduction: Reading ability is one of the fundamental elements for the reinsertion of adults into society. On the other hand, it is very common to alter reading comprehension in the population that is received at the International Center for Neuro-logical Restoration whose mission is to improve the quality of life of adults with sequelae of neurological diseases. In professional practice, there are frequent disorders in cognitive processes and in many cases difficulties in understanding texts.

Methods: Two groups were randomly selected with 15 patients each. The advantages of the computer in relation to the conventional method were demonstrated by the experiment.

Conclusions: This technological proposal constitutes one of the most important tools in the defective treatment of text comprehension in adults with Ischemic Vascular Brain Disease.
