Restorative Neurology, Rehabilitation and Brain Injury

Le résumé fourni par la source

This chapter addresses the nature of disability, how it can best be ameliorated, which training techniques and medical treatments are most effective, particularly after single incident brain injury, and the organisational structures required for their optimal delivery. Rehabilitation is a complex intervention and is delivered via a menu of multidisciplinary inpatient and community-based service delivery systems which differ by plant, personnel and process. A substantial body of trial-based evidence and other research support the clinical and cost-effectiveness of specialist rehabilitation for patients with complex disabilities due to acquired neurological injury of any aetiology. There is a wealth of evidence suggesting that central nervous system reorganisation at least accompanies and often underpins much of the improvement in impairment that is frequently seen after injury. Vocational rehabilitation is an essential process to overcome the barriers that a person with a health condition faces when accessing, remaining or returning to work.
