Brief summary
The Longitudinal Head Injury Outcome Project is a long-standing research project investigating the functional, cognitive, behavioural and physical and emotional outcomes of patients who have sustained a TBI from the time of injury up to 30 years after their injury. This study aims to provide comprehensive information regarding the difficulties experienced by these individuals and their families over long periods of time after injury. This information can be used to establish the needs of individuals with TBI, identify predictors of outcome, develop rehabilitation programs to improve outcome, inform TAC policy and provide ongoing service to TBI patients.
Interventions
