  • Title: Traumatic brain injury in childhood: rehabilitation considerations.
    Author: Catroppa C, Anderson V.
    Journal: Dev Neurorehabil; 2009 Feb; 12(1):53-61. PubMed ID: 19253095.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The aims of this review were to: (i) briefly outline common sequelae following childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI); (ii) provide a summary of models and research in the area of intervention; (iii) discuss issues and obstacles in the evaluation of research in the area of intervention; (vi) discuss integrative and translational aspects of research in this area; (v) provide an example of intervention studies being conducted in the laboratory; and (vii) highlight the need for continued and collaborative work in the paediatric intervention field. CONCLUSIONS: When reviewing the literature, it is clear that while challenging, the development and evaluation of intervention programs for children post traumatic brain injury, must be encourage and pursued. This in turn will lead to improved quality of life for these children and their families.
