Psychological factors are strong predictors of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) recovery, consequently, psychological interventions can form part of an individual's rehabilitation. This may include enhancing valued living (VL), an approach that is effective in severe and mixed acquired brain injury samples. This study aimed to characterize VL in mTBI and explore its relationship with mTBI and mental health outcomes. 56 participants with a mTBI completed self-report measures before engaging in a psychological intervention...

Despite growing research linking childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) with reduced wellbeing, self-esteem, and psycho-social health, very few studies have examined self-esteem and its correlates in young adult survivors of childhood TBI. This very-long-term follow-up study evaluated self-esteem in 29 young adults with a history of childhood TBI (M time since injury = 13.84 years; SD = 0.74), and 10 typically developing controls (TDCs). All participants were originally recruited into a larger, longitudinal case-control study between 2007 and 2010...

Aphasia constitutes a very complex clinical entity that requires a "competent" caregiver to interact with the person with aphasia (PWA). The literature lacks a valid and reliable set of standardized tools which can offer objective and quantifiable data of a caregiver's communicative competence. The aim of the study was to develop, standardize and validate an evaluation tool suited to measur the caregivers' competence in communicating with family members affected by aphasic disorders. Forty-two patients with aphasia and their respective caregivers were enrolled in the study...

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and stiffness in muscles and joints. Traumatic life experiences and post-traumatic stress symptoms play a role in its development and persistence. Although previous research suggests that pain and FM symptoms decrease after eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, its effectiveness has not been investigated in a controlled manner. The present study investigated the effectiveness of a six-session, 90-minute EMDR therapy using a multiple baseline single-case experimental design (SCED) across ten adult females with FM...

Cognitive impairment is common early after stroke but trajectories over the long term are variable. Some stroke survivors make a full recovery, while others retain a stable impairment or decline. This study explored the perceived advantages and disadvantages of discussing potential cognitive trajectories with stroke survivors and their family members. Stroke survivors at least six-months post-stroke were purposively sampled from an existing pool of research volunteers recruited originally for the OCS-Recovery study...

Logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is characterized by word-finding deficits and phonologic errors in fluent speech. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting either left temporoparietal junction (TPJ) or left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) show evidence of improving language function in lvPPA. The present case study evaluated the effects of two separate rounds of high definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) (4 mA; 30 sessions) on language and functional neuroimaging in a 57-year-old woman with lvPPA...

Prism adaptation training (PAT) as a treatment for visuospatial neglect (VSN) involves two components: recalibration and realignment. We conducted a randomized controlled trial with PAT protocols requiring different degrees of recalibration and realignment, by using a single or multi-step protocol and varying visibility of the pointing movement. Twenty-five VSN patients received an alertness treatment without prisms, followed by four PAT protocols, encompassing a multi- or single-step procedure with terminal exposure, a single-step procedure with concurrent exposure, and sham PAT, presented in random order...

Functional neuroimaging and electrophysiological assessments can identify evidence of residual consciousness and cognition in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (PDOC) who are otherwise behaviourally unresponsive. These functional neurodiagnostics are increasingly available in clinical settings and are recommended by international clinical guidelines to reduce diagnostic and prognostic uncertainty, and thereby assist family caregivers in their best-interests decision-making. Nevertheless, little is known about how family caregivers make sense of the results of these state-of-the-art functional neurodiagnostics...

Sensory feedback is a fundamental aspect of effective motor learning in sport and clinical contexts. One way to provide this is through sensory augmentation, where extrinsic sensory information are associated with, and modulated by, movement. Traditionally, sensory augmentation has been used as an online strategy, where feedback is provided during physical execution of an action. In this article, we argue that action observation can be an additional effective channel to provide augmented feedback, which would be complementary to other, more traditional, motor learning and sensory augmentation strategies...

ABSTRACT Impaired self-awareness impacts outcomes for individuals with brain injury. Self-awareness is a complex construct, with little known about how its presentation differs across diagnostic groups, or how brain injury-related changes are expressed by individuals in the early phase post-brain injury. This study aims to identify differences and similarities in patterns of self-awareness between patients with different brain injury diagnoses, and provide a clinical account of how individuals with ABI describe changes to themselves arising from brain injury...
