Cognitive functions were evaluated using RehaCom system that assess attention and memory while Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) assess cognition, while balance was evaluated by using Biodex balance system and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for each patient. The results of study revealed that patients who had highly cognitive impairment suffered from balance disabilities which vary in degree according to the severity of cognitive impairment, beside, cognitive impairment associated with right hemispheric vascular accident are more devastating than that associated with left hemispheric accident.
