Problems in measuring cognitive recovery after acute brain injury.
The measurement of cognitive recovery after traumatic brain damage raises a number of methodological and practical problems. The precise schedule of testing, the specification of functions to be measured, the separation of practice from recovery, and the specification of appropriate control or comparison groups must all be considered by the researcher. In addition, strenuous efforts must be made to achieve as high a follow-up rate as possible.
