Financial Abilities in Neurological Diseases. Development of a Telerehabilitation Program: FINAGE

Summary

Financial Abilities (FA) are a set of capacities that allow a person to independently manage her/his financial affairs in a manner consistent with personal self-interests and values. This project will: a) assess Financial Abilities in different neurological conditions: Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's disease and Stroke patients; b) investigate both cognitive correlations, specifically the role of executive functions, thought to be critically involved in the FA multi-dimensional concept, and neuro-anatomical correlates of Financial Abilities; c) build a rehabilitation tool in order to improve FA. Secondary aims are to apply this rehabilitation tool at long distance and evaluate its behavioral, functional and neuroanatomical effects. The starting point for this project is the recently published NADL-F - Numerical Activities of Daily Living - Financial, a multi-domain ecological battery aimed at assessing FA in healthy people as well as in neurological patient populations
