Background:

Memory impairment is common after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cerebral vascular accidents (CVA).
Cognitive rehabilitation aims to improve memory function and daily living skills in affected individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel memory rehabilitation program for individuals with memory deficits due to TBI or CVA.
To assess improvements in visual memory, verbal memory, and everyday memory functioning.

Main Methods:

A 10-week group therapy program was implemented, focusing on learning strategies and real-life application.
Nineteen patients (11 TBI, 8 CVA) completed the therapy, with memory assessed pre- and post-intervention using standardized tests (Signoret memory battery, AMQ).

Main Results:

The therapy demonstrated significant improvements in visual memory compared to verbal memory.
No significant changes were observed in everyday memory as measured by the Amsterdam Memory Questionnaire (AMQ).
Preliminary subgroup analysis indicated potential differential benefits based on pathology.

Conclusions:

The memory therapy shows promise for enhancing visual memory in brain-injured populations.
Further modifications, including family involvement and verbal memory re-education, may be beneficial.
A controlled study is warranted to validate these findings and the overall approach.
