[Recovery of several higher cerebral functions in patients with mild cranio-cerebral injuries]

The dynamics of a restitution of higher brain functions was studied in 30 patients and 20 normals of the same age and educational census with the aid of an experimental psychological test (a proof test, a remembrance of 10 words, a search for numbers according to the Schulte table and an elimination of significant signs). The achieved data testify to the fact that restitution of cerebral functions is accomplished slowly and that disorders do not disappear at the end of the month following a mild brain trauma. For this reason the duration of treatment in such cases should be not less than 30--35 days.
