At the center for Rehabilitation of Brain Damage, University Copenhagen, 46 consecutively admitted brain-damaged patients with varying pathologies and who were on average 2.9 years post-injury treated in a daily four-month rehabilitation program groups about 10, followed by six-month period contact according to individual needs. An evaluation psychosocial outcome is presented. The results, based comparisons between pre-, post-treatment follow-up questionnaire data, show continuing functional...

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy performance predictions in experimental tasks with patients' awareness activity limitations. Participants were 24 patients brain injuries (i.e., traumatic injury and cerebrovascular disorders) 22 orthopedic disorders. Prediction examined a memory task (word list learning) motor (finger tapping). Awareness limitations measured by comparing self-ratings staff ratings Patient Competency Rating Scale (PCRS). Results for PCRS showed that disorders...

Objective: To examine the impact of resource facilitation (RF) on return to work, participation in home and community activities, depression. Participants: Twenty-two people with acquired brain injury (mean age = 43 years; mean education 13.3 years). Design: A prospective randomized controlled trial RF compared standard care. All participants received follow-up services, but group were also assigned a facilitator assist them returning work. Results: Participation increased significantly for...

Owing to major progress in the survivorship following acquired brain injury (ABI), there exists a pressing need for development of systems care and rehabilitation tailored ABI. One supportive is resource facilitation (brain RF), which focuses on having therapeutic, social, financial resources readily available easily accessible persons with Brain RF comprises identification person’s strengths challenges, goal setting, identification, coordination, access, utilization, monitoring, evaluation,...

Primary objective: The Delirium Diagnostic Tool–Provisional (DDT-Pro) is a newly developed provisional diagnostic tool for delirium presented here. This study evaluated its accuracy and validity in population of participants with acquired brain injury (ABI).Research design: Cross-sectional study.Methods: Thirty-six patients ABI, including traumatic (TBI; n = 29) intraparenchymal haemorrhage (ICH; 7) were assessed at admission to inpatient rehabilitation using the DDT-Pro, Rating...

Studies have shown reduced life expectancy following moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) with death from unintentional poisoning (UP) being 11 times higher TBI than in the general population. The characteristics of those who die are compared other causes (OC) a retrospective cohort received inpatient rehabilitation and enrolled Model Systems National Database between 1989 2017 (n = 15,835 cases 2,238 deaths recorded). Seventy-eight (3.5%) were result UP, 76% OC, 20.5% an unknown...

Resource Facilitation (RF) is an intervention developed to improve return work (RTW) following brain injury. RF individualized treatment specializing in connecting patients and caregivers with community-based resources services mitigate barriers work.Examine the effectiveness of RHI program for a clinical prospective cohort participants referred this from State Vocational Rehabilitation agency.Participants were 243 data drawn two sources: 33 previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) control...

Neuropsychological investigation of minor head injury (MHI) has consistently corroborated patient subjective complaints memory loss. An experimental group 11 head-injured patients and a control age-matched normal volunteers were compared on the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) Rey-Osterreith complex figure. Minor subjects found to be impaired measures short-term delayed free recall as well organizational-semantic strategy in retrieval phase. These findings are consistent with reports...

Objective Resource Facilitation is a lesser-known service line within the field of brain injury rehabilitation and has been described as similar to case management, care coordination, neuronavigation. The purpose this project was evaluate current programs provide comprehensive summary program characteristics work toward common definition services inform future development evaluation frameworks.Materials Methods An online survey sent all known in US (N = 70).Data Collection Completed through...

Objective Research has shown that as many 60% of adults in the criminal justice system have a history traumatic brain injury (TBI), but examination effective interventions to reduce recidivism only just begun. The present study explored extent which resource facilitation (RF) may decrease among those individuals with TBI.Methods Over 2-year period, prospective, non-randomized controlled was conducted included 1,504 justice-involved exiting Indiana Department Corrections (IDOC). Participants...

Objective This study surveyed the use of community-based resource facilitation (RF) services by ethnic minority survivors traumatic brain injury (TBI) living in Midwestern United States.

This article identified rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and recidivism among people incarcerated or exiting incarceration in Indiana using data from different sectors the population. was a collaboration between rehabilitation hospital both Department Correction (IDOC) problem-solving courts Marion County, resulting two distinct screening samples. Participants IDOC sample (N = 2,791) were screened over period 2 years 4 months. specialty 189) August October 2016. The moderate-to-severe...

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present a classification schema especially developed structure the diagnostic and rehabilitation processes inherent in brain injury rehabilitation. This model effective areas neuropsychological diagnosis, integration disciplines goal setting, but also brings some advantages for program evaluation research. A final case study illustrates practical utilization model.
