A Brief Review of Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation (Annals, Academy of Medicine, Singapore 2007)

Agitation in Acquired Brain Injury: Impact on Acute Rehabilitation Therapies. (J Head Trauma Rehabil. 2007)

Complicated vs uncomplicated mild traumatic brain injury: Acute neuropsychological outcome (Brain Injury, 2007) "Conclusions: The reasons why people recover slowly or fail to recover fully from MTBIs remain poorly understood. Visible structural brain damage carries increased risk for slow and incomplete recovery, but certainly does not provide an explanation for good or poor outcome in the majority of patients."

Does intensive rehabilitation improve the functional outcome of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)? A randomized controlled trial (Brain Injury 2007) "Conclusions: Early intensive rehabilitation may improve the functional outcome of patients with TBI in the early months post-injury and hence increase the chance of their returning to work early. Intensive rehabilitation in this study speeded up recovery rather than changed the final outcome."

[Dysphagia--an overlooked problem in neurorehabilitation] (geskr Laeger. 2007)

Early prediction of language impairment following traumatic brain injury (Brain Injury, 2007) "Main outcomes and results: Education and TBI severity as measured with the GCS score were the most significant factors predicting language deficits in the acute care setting."

Functional and cognitive progress in aphasic patients with traumatic brain injury during post-acute phase (Brain Injury, 2007) "Conclusion: Post-acute language functions after late admission to a rehabilitation centre appear to be related to measures of cognitive and functional progress in patients with TBI. Functional and cognitive outcome is mainly affected by auditory comprehension. Results also showed the effectiveness of post-acute conventional rehabilitation in improving language functions."

Motor impairment rehabilitation post acquired brain injury. (Brain Inj. 2007)

Neurorehabilitation-induced cortical reorganization in brain injury: A 14-month longitudinal follow-up study. (NeuroRehabilitation. 2007)

Rehabilitation for Traumatic Brain Injury in Children and Adolescents (Annals, Academy of Medicine, Singapore 2007)

[Subacute intensive rehabilitation after severe traumatic brain injury. Follow-up 6 months after discharge] (geskr Laeger. 2007) " CONCLUSION: The centralisation of rehabilitation in Denmark after very severe brain damage made it possible to conduct a structured plan for treatment and assessment during subacute rehabilitation and 6 months after discharge of patients with very severe traumatic brain injury. This has demonstrated that rehabilitation of even the most severely brain-damaged patients can be valuable."
