Abstract
Long-Term Functional and Psychosocial Consequences and Health Care Provision after Traumatic Brain Injury.
Highlights
The development of culturally meaningful assessment tools for the measurement of outcomes and needs in Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been limited, which may in part be due to a limited focus on cultural aspects of TBI in international classification systems
Accurate assessment of level of awareness and cognitive capacity of patients in a state of disordered consciousness after severe TBI is of utmost importance for rendering a correct diagnosis and designing treatment plans
Hauger et al from Norway employed electrophysiological approaches to assess residual cognitive capacity using two tasks that differed as a function of cognitive load and stimulus type in this unique patient population
Summary
The development of culturally meaningful assessment tools for the measurement of outcomes and needs in TBI has been limited, which may in part be due to a limited focus on cultural aspects of TBI in international classification systems. The aim of this special issue is to present international multidisciplinary research on long-term functional and psychosocial consequences of TBI in populations of adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Authors of this issue addressed methods for the development of assessment tools in TBI, neurophysiology of cognitive capacity, cognitive, executive, emotional, behavioral, and vocational functioning, and health-related quality of life after TBI.
