Abstract
Quantitative Neuroimaging and the Prediction of Rehabilitation Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Highlights
Diverse motor, sensory, cognitive, and emotional disabilities may be the aftermath of any brain injury (Svestkova et al, 2010)
Past cognitive rehabilitation TBI research often used neuroimaging findings to define a location of injury or the amount of structural damage, frequently as a singular measure of regional, or whole brain atrophy
Having lesion metrics that assess the diffuseness of injury and location and/or the degree of where atrophic changes have occurred provides the rehabilitation clinician with additional information that may be useful in predicting outcome or even guiding therapies, because it taps the multifaceted manner in which the brain may be injured
Summary
Sensory, cognitive, and emotional disabilities may be the aftermath of any brain injury (Svestkova et al, 2010). Past cognitive rehabilitation TBI research often used neuroimaging findings to define a location of injury or the amount of structural damage, frequently as a singular measure of regional, or whole brain atrophy.
