Prospective memory retraining in adults with traumatic brain injury

Predictors of prospective memory in adults with traumatic brain injury.

Previous studies have established that prospective memory is commonly affected following traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study examines whether demographic factors, injury severity and site, executive function, and metacognitive factors predict prospective memory performance in adults with TBI, using a cross-sectional multivariate correlational model. Prospective memory of 44 adults (mean ag...

A randomized controlled trial of prospective memory rehabilitation in adults with traumatic brain injury.

OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of compensatory prospective memory training, preceded by self-awareness training for adults with traumatic brain injury. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial with 4 intervention groups: (i) self-awareness plus compensatory prospective memory training; (ii) self-awareness training plus active control; (iii) active control plus compensatory prospective memory tra...

Perceptual retraining for adults with diffuse brain injury.

Occupational therapy for adults with perceptual dysfunction secondary to diffuse acquired brain injury from trauma or anoxia often includes remedial retraining with treatment tasks, like construction of puzzles, to provide clients with practice in deficit perceptual skills. Therapists using this approach assume that adults with brain injury learn specific perceptual skills from retraining exerc...

Traumatic brain injury in adults.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a major public health problem. This review aims to present the principles upon which modern TBI management should be based. The early management phase aims to achieve haemodynamic stability, limit secondary insults (eg hypotension, hypoxia), obtain accurate neurological assessment and appropriately select patients for further investigation. Since 2003, the m...
