[New approaches to the assessment and rehabilitation of cognitive deficits in brain injury patients].
Patients with acquired brain injury, either due to stroke or traumatic brain injury, may suffer from cognitive disorders, in addition to motor deficits. We present here recent developments in assessment and rehabilitation of patients with brain injury. Four main issues are addressed: holistic rehabilitation, ecological assessment and rehabilitation, cognitive rehabilitation and recent techniques of functional imaging of the brain.
