title: Head injury and its rehabilitation.
abstract: Investigation of outcome following head injury is changing from studies with a broad scope to more focussed issues concerning specific subgroups, the application of new technologies such as functional brain imaging, clinical trials of medication, and strategies of rehabilitation. This review primarily addresses outcome and intervention studies relevant to the sequelae and rehabilitation of head-injured patients.
