Cognitive-communication and psychosocial functioning 12 months after severe traumatic brain injury.

CONCLUSION: Cognitive-communication ability was significantly related to psychosocial functioning at 12 months post-TBI. Findings suggested continued speech pathology involvement in the post-acute stages of recovery may improve social, vocational and overall psychosocial functioning. The FAVRES is a promising cognitive-communication assessment for identification of treatable factors impacting psychosocial outcomes. PMID: 30346807 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
