The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between patients' compliance and awareness and outcome of brain injury rehabilitation. Subjects were 98 patients who underwent a holistic neuropsychological outpatient rehabilitation programme. Patients had suffered a traumatic brain injury (n = 26), a cerebrovascular accident (n = 58), or another neurological insult (n = 14). Measures: Two staff members, a neuropsychologist and a physiotherapist, retrospectively and…

Subjective outcome of brain injury rehabilitation in relation to the therapeutic working alliance, client compliance and awareness
TLDR
Brain injury rehabilitation should be seen as a dynamic process that develops between clients and therapists and how the therapeutic process can be optimized.
The development of the therapeutic working alliance, patients’ awareness and their compliance during the process of brain injury rehabilitation
TLDR
Clients’ experience of their emotional bond with their therapist added as much to the prediction of clients’ awareness as the localization of their brain injury in the process of brain injury rehabilitation.
The relationship between clients’ cognitive functioning and the therapeutic working alliance in post-acute brain injury rehabilitation
TLDR
The weakness of the correlations between cognitive tests and WA ratings may indicate that a good WA is achievable also with clients with severe cognitive difficulties.
The effects of adapted physical exercise during rehabilitation in patients with traumatic brain injury
TLDR
The short-term adapted physical exercise program can yield a positive change in working abilities of patients with TBI.
Quality of life after traumatic brain injury: The clinical use of the QOLIBRI, a novel disease-specific instrument
TLDR
The QOLIBRI provides information about patient's subjective perception of his/her HRQoL which supplements clinical measures and measures of functional outcome and allows the identification of personal needs, the prioritization of therapeutic goals and the evaluation of individual progress.
Patients' and relatives' experience of difficulties following severe traumatic brain injury: The sub-acute stage
TLDR
Results indicate that the most frequent complaints in both groups related to somatic and cognitive problems, and the effects of injury severity and general level of functioning had limited impact on the subjective experience of difficulties.
Therapeutic alliance in post-acute brain injury rehabilitation: Predictors of strength of alliance and impact of alliance on outcome
TLDR
Findings indicate that family perceptions and family functioning are important determinants of therapeutic alliance for patients with traumatic brain injury attending post-acute brain injury rehabilitation (PABIR) and should be addressed to facilitate patient bonding with the programme.
Acquired brain injury and evaluation of intensive training of attention in early neurorehabilitation : statistical evaluation and qualitative perspectives
TLDR
Attention training is a promising intervention in the early stage after ABI with APT potentially boosting the improvement process as seen both during intervention and in the experience of attention management over time.
Posttraumatic Confusion Predicts Patient Cooperation During Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation
TLDR
Empirical support is provided that PTC is associated with poorer cooperation and empirical justification for interventions to manage confusion during early recovery from traumatic brain injury is provided.

Working alliance and patient compliance in brain injury rehabilitation and their relation to psychosocial outcome
TLDR
Employment and physical activity at follow up of 98 patients who underwent a holistic neuropsychological outpatient rehabilitation programme were examined in relation to therapeutic process factors to indicate that employment and physical activities are differentially predictable from different process measures rated from different professional perspectives.
Subjective experience in patients with brain injury and their close relatives before and after a rehabilitation programme
TLDR
It is shown that patient symptoms, and the impact of these on close relatives, may be broadly reduced, but perhaps not eliminated, as a result of neuropsychological rehabilitation.
Productivity after neuropsychologically oriented milieu rehabilitation
TLDR
The proposition that specialty neurorehabilitation programs aimed at work reentry may be helpful in a selected group of TBI patients is supported.
Evaluation of Attention Process Training and Brain Injury Education in Persons with Acquired Brain Injury
TLDR
The overall results showed that most patients made improvements and the brain injury education seemed to be most effective in improving self- Reports of psychosocial function and APT influenced self-reports of cognitive function and had a stronger influence on performance of executive attention tasks than was found with the brain Injury education therapy.
Subjective experience in brain-injured patients and their close relatives: a European Brain Injury Questionnaire study.
TLDR
It is concluded that the questionnaire has an acceptable reliability and validity, but that it will be necessary to obtain culturally relevant non-brain-injured control data when employing it in different countries.
Unawareness and/or Denial of Disability: Implications for Occupational Therapy Intervention
TLDR
Detailed case examples of three clients representing three major populations of traumatic brain injury, stroke and schizophrenia who may exhibit unawareness and/or denial of disability will be presented, including intervention strategies for both phenomena.
Effectiveness of attention rehabilitation after an acquired brain injury: a meta-analysis.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that acquired deficits of attention are treatable using specific-skills training and that the cognitive-retraining methods included in the meta-analysis did not significantly affect outcomes.
Self-Awareness of Deficits following Acquired Brain Injury: Considerations for Rehabilitation
TLDR
A literature review suggests that the development of self- awareness can be associated with emotional distress in the individual, and the widely held belief that self-awareness is necessary for successful outcomes from rehabilitation requires further investigation.

Use of a comprehensive programme of external cueing to enhance procedural memory in a patient with dense amnesia.
TLDR
