The benefits of a cognitive orthotic in brain injury rehabilitation
1Lankenau Hospital, Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background:
Properly designed software can be compensatory, and possibly remedial, for people with significant deficits from traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Objective:
This article will provide a historical overview of the use of microcomputers in brain injury rehabilitation. Emphasis will be placed on the evolution of compensatory assistive technology for overcoming cognitive impairments, with theoretical discussion of the design considerations for an effective cognitive orthotic.
Conclusions:
Discussion will focus on findings and observations made with a particular multifunction cognitive orthotic system to assist people with TBI in the performance of ecologically relevant activities. Additional observations will address the impact of the current US health care environment on technological innovation.
