Summary

Compensatory strategy training (CST) significantly improves daily task performance after brain injury, unlike computerized restorative function training (CRFT). Further research is needed for direct comparisons and long-term effects.

Area of Science:

  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Background:

  • Computerized restorative function training (CRFT) is increasingly popular for cognitive rehabilitation post-brain injury.
  • Compensatory strategy training (CST) is considered a standard intervention in practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and meta-analyze the efficacy of CST versus CRFT for cognitive rehabilitation.
  • To focus on the generalization of treatment effects to daily life using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework, particularly at the activity and participation levels.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review and meta-analysis of 30 studies.
  • Comparison of CST and CRFT interventions against active control conditions or each other.
  • Assessment of scientific quality and risk of bias using the RoB-2 Cochrane Tool.

Main Results:

  • CST demonstrated significant improvements in task performance (ICF activity level) based on proxy ratings, especially for executive functioning interventions immediately post-treatment.
  • CRFT showed no significant improvements; the active control group performed better than the CRFT group.
  • Long-term effects and participation-level improvements for both interventions remain unclear.

Conclusions:

  • CST appears more effective than CRFT for improving task performance at the activity level in the short term.
  • Further research is required for direct comparisons between CST and CRFT, long-term efficacy assessment, and evaluation of participation-level outcomes.
