Rehabilitation after paediatric acquired brain injury: Longitudinal change in content and effect on recovery.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To describe cross-sectional and longitudinal variation in neurorehabilitation content provided to young people after severe paediatric acquired brain injury (pABI) and to relate this to observed functional recovery.

Method

This was an observational study in a cohort of admissions to a residential neurorehabilitation centre.
