Most interventions are aimed at physical rehabilitation and focused on facilitating recovery using principles of motor learning, and cognitive processes starting from explicit and implicit aspects. The objective of this study was to analyze if there is a relationship between cognitive functions and implicit motor learning in post-stroke patients. It is a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted with a sample of 20 individuals, based on the number of hospital admissions in the Unified Health System in 2021, related to the 5th health region of Rio Grande do Norte, with the cause being unspecified stroke. The median age of the participants was 61.5 (55.7/72.0) years, with higher prevalence of males 14 (63.6%), and an average of 8.0 (4.0/11.0) years of education. The most frequent type of stroke in the sample was ischemic, accounting for 14 (63.6%). For clinical characterization, was used the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), indicating mild impairment at 1.5 (0.0/4.2). The Fugl-Meyer Scale showed marked motor impairment at 73.0 (57.7/90.0), and the DASS-21 indicated moderate levels of stress at 18.0 (15.0/24.0) and anxiety at 12.0 (6.0/14.5), with no indication of depression at 11.0 (5.5/16.5). The cognitive evaluation was performed using the Neupsilin, showing difficulties in visual memory at 2.0 (1.0/2.0), arithmetic skills at 4.0 (0.0/5.2), and language 47.5 (20.5/49.2). The Random Number Generation task did not show difficulties with executive functions 0.3 (0.3/0.5). The workload in the NASA Task Load Index after the Player Feedback task (used to assess implicit motor learning) was 20.3 (17.8/27.8). In the Player Feedback task, the average number of correct responses was 49.0 (17.0/79.2) in the more affected arm and 69.0 (37.0/90.5) in the less affected arm. The highest number of consecutively correct sequences had an average of 0.0 (0.0/0.0) in the more affected arm and 0.0 (0.0/0.5) in the less affected arm. For statistical analysis, JASP 0.17.1.0 software was used, employing Spearman's correlation and Mann-Whitney U test for non-normal samples. Implicit motor learning showed a negative correlation with stress (rho -0.511 / p-0.043); depression (rho -0.499 / p-0.049); short-term visual memory (rho -0.507 / p-0.045); spontaneous writing (rho -0.540 / p-0.031) and workload (rho -0.570 / p-0.021). And showed a positive correlation with Face perception (rho 0.456 / p-0.043) and Reflexive praxis (rho 0.456 / p-0.043). It is concluded that, in the evaluated sample, implicit motor learning showed correlation with certain cognitive and emotional aspects.Acesso AbertoReabilitaçãoAcidente Vascular CerebralFunção executivamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE
