| Relationship of early neuropsychological functioning with supervision needs one year after traumatic brain injury | ||
| Abstract: A recently completed study employing TBI Model Systems data revealed that cognitive deficits at one year after TBI are associated with a higher need for supervision at that time, among individuals who do not have significant motor deficits. The present study will examine the relationship between cognitive deficits early in the course of recovery (using the neuropsychological evaluation completed during inpatient rehabilitation) and supervision needs at one year after the trauma. The goal is to establish (if possible) guidelines for clinicians to follow in advising survivors and family members about potential supervision needs in the future. ... more |

| The Relationship Between Neuropsychological Function and Level of Caregiver Supervision at 1 Year Post Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
| Abstract: To evaluate distribution of levels of caregiver supervision at 1 year post traumatic brain injury, and to etermine where id = 395; neuropsychological predictors of supervision level. Design: Prospective longitudinal design, concurrent measurement of neuropsychological function and supervision level. Setting: 17 TBI Model System centers. Patients: 563 adults tested at 1 year post injury; sub-group of 452 studied for neuropsychological function in the absence of impairment in mobility or basic self-care, as assessed by high Motor FIM scores. Main Outcome Measures: Supervision level measured by scores on Supervision Rating Scale (SRS). Results: Two-thirds (69%) of the sample was rated as independent of supervision. Participants... more |

| Contributions of early impaired self-awareness and depression to predicting rehabilitation outcome and subjective well-being after TBI | ||
| Abstract: We predict that measures of impaired awareness and depression will make unique contributions to predicting outcome at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation and at one year follow-up. We also predict that impaired self-awareness and depression will both be common during in-patient rehabilitation and that patients will have more accurate self-awareness and be more depressed at one year follow-up. We will also investigate the relationship between cognitive functioning and impaired self-awareness. These findings will have implications for the need to treat impaired self-awareness and depression during the in-patient and post-acute rehabilitation periods... more | ||
