| Research Abstract |
P atients with vascular deme ntia who needed physical assistance in sit-to-stand transfer activities participated in the study. They were enrolled in a comprehensive rehabilitation program that consisted of a physical exercise and a psychosocial intervention program over a period of 2 months. After the comprehensive rehabilitation, the transfer mobility was improved and the regional glucose metabolism was increased in the right insula cortex. The control patients showed no significant change. These results suggest that the comprehensiv e rehabilitation approach may be associated with an increase in glucose metabolism of the right insula cortex in patients with vascular dementia .
