During the past decade the rehabilitation field has developed new, non-hospital based programmes of cognitive, behavioural, social, educational and vocational treatments to address the higher order cognitive, behavioural and social deficits following brain injury. These new arrays of programmes are referred to under the term 'post-acute' rehabilitation. No comprehensive, ...

The basic findings of brain-injured patients who underwent treatment within a co-ordinated system of post-acute brain-injury rehabilitation programmes have already been reported. The changes in function during the course of treatment by this post-acute sequence of rehabilitation were obtained and reported. A defined total population of N = 192 ...

The objective of this study was to develop one instrument for assessing quantitatively the disability of severe head trauma patients so their rehabilitative progress could be followed from coma through different levels of awareness and functioning to their return to the community. This disability rating (DR) instrument was designed ...

Objective: To examine whether the Wide Range Achievement Test-3 (WRAT-3) Reading subtest (S. Jastak & G. S. Wilkenson, 1984; G. S. Wilkinson, 1993) measures premorbid intelligence in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants: Sixty individuals (63% male, 78% Caucasian, mean age = 38 years) tested during acute rehabilitation ...
