| 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 |

| Concordance of Patient and Family Report of Neurobehavioral Symptoms at 1 year Post Traumatic Brain Injury | ||
| Abstract: Objective: To determine concordance between patient and family report of neurobehavioral symptoms and problems across 6 domains of function and 3 levels of injury severity at 1 year post traumatic brain injury (TBI). Design: Prospective longitudinal design with follow-up between 10 and 14 months post injury. Setting: 17 TBI Model System centers. Patients: 267 adults with primarily moderate and severe TBI who had completed self-ratings and also had significant other ratings of neurobehavioral symptoms. Main Outcome Measures: Neurobehavioral Functioning Inventory, Revised (NFI-R), a 70-item scale with subscales assessing frequency of symptoms in Motor, Somatic, Memory/ Attention, Depression, Communication and Aggression... more |

| 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 |

| Validation of a clinical attention rating scale | ||
| Abstract: Attention deficits are commonly reported after traumatic brain injury. A variety of laboratory measures have been used to study attention and assess its response to treatment. However, this approach is seldom feasible for clinical use. Rating scales of attention-related behavior have been developed for other clinical situations (e.g., ADHD), but no well-validated scale exists for use in TBI. This project seeks to assess the inter-rater reliability and factor structure of an observational rating scale of attention developed for use in TBI. Research participants are individuals admitted to acute rehabilitation after TBI, who are at least Rancho Los Amigos level IV, and are undergoing no changes in psychoactive drugs. Such individuals are... more | ||

| The Spacing effect on memory in persons with TBI | ||
| Abstract: This project examines the effect of spaced learning trials versus grouped learning trials in a cognitively impaired population. A randomized controlled design will be used to examine the effect of spaced versus grouped learning trials, using two tasks: 1) a story recall task and 2) a medication training task. Subjects will be recruited in an outpatient cognitive rehabilitation clinic, to obtain two matched (age, sex, education) groups of 20 individuals, ages 18 to 45, diagnosed with traumatic brain injury. It is anticipated that subjects receiving spaced learning trials will show significantly greater recall of information in comparison to subjects receiving grouped learning trials. On a functional task, it is hypothesized that TBI... more |
