Method: We evaluated 19 individuals with a mean age of 61.2 ± 13.0 years, mean injury time 45.05 ± 42.99 years and male predominance. The MEEM, MoCA, PCL and TOM scales were applied. Data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation with p-value <0.05. Results: A positive and statistically significant correlation was observed between the MEEM and MoCA scales (r = 0.78), MEEM and PCL (r = 0.49). There was no correlation between the cognition scales and mind theory. Conclusion: These values suggest that scales are able to provide the degree of cognitive impairment of the individual proportionally. The choice of scale applied in clinical practice will depend on the therapist's goal and the available resourcesembargoedAccessAcidente Vascular Cerebral. Cognição. Avaliação. Escalas.Stroke.
