Functional outcome at 1 vs. 2 years after severe traumatic brain injury

Abstract

In summary, there are still changes in both impairment and disability related areas between 1-2 years post-STBI, but the degree of improvement is variable depending on the area being considered. Clinicians should remain aware of the fact that modulation of impairment and disability appear to continue well beyond 1 year post-STBI, which may impact on decisions regarding the provision and intensity of further rehabilitation efforts.
