TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Evaluation of neuropsychological rehabilitation following severe traumatic brain injury: A case report JO - Neurocase A1 - Wall, Gemma A1 - Turner, Alex A1 - Clarke, Richard SP - 530 EP - 541 VL - 19 IS - 6 N2 - This case study presents the evaluation of traumatic brain injury rehabilitation for Jane, (1) a 35-year-old woman who sustained a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). On-going rehabilitation addressed difficulties within a structured neuro-rehabilitative therapeutic milieu and was holistically evaluated. Results showed improvement in mood and quality of life and at the compensatory level for cognition. At the impairment level, many of the affected areas of cognition remained at least below predicted pre-morbid levels. This supports the view that although TBI impairments may be permanent, structured neuro-rehabilitation can be effective through external and compensatory aids. Recording this holistically contributes to evidencing this. (1)All names have been changed and the client consented to this submission.
