title: [Vocational rehabilitation of brain injured patients of various ages with reference to neuropsychological aspects].
abstract: Based on the aftercare scope of a neurosurgical clinic, the article reports on 147 brain injured patients of different age when the accident occurred. Issues discussed include disability severity and prognosis, problems of secondary abnormal behaviour, and longer-term occupational outcomes. 25% of the adult brain injured patients were working full-time six months after the accident, 34% worked part-time and received a disability pension, and 41% were disability pensioners without part-time job. The share of occupationally reintegrated persons is higher in the younger age group although they had sustained more serious cerebral injuries than older ones.
