Outcome in Community Rehabilitation: Measuring the Social Impact of Disability

Abstract

Abstract This paper explores the range of outcome measures that can be employed in a post-acute community-based brain injury rehabilitation programme for people with complex patterns of neurobehavioural disability. In addition to standardised scales and structured interviews, the paper considers the use of behavioural measures of social and functional behaviour that can be used to give structure to observational methods when recording socially adaptive behaviour.
