Abstract
We have recently reported the results of a prospective controlled randomize d trial comparing home versus inpatient cognitive rehabilitation for patien ts with model-ate to severe head injury. That study showed no overall diffe rence in outcomes between the two groups.(1) In this article, we provide fu rther details of the home program arm of the study ALI patients in the home program received medical treatment as needed. a multidisciplinary in-hospi tal evaluation, and TBI counseling before entering the eight-week home prog ram, which then included guidance on home activities, as well as weekly tel ephone calls from a psychiatric nurse.
