Abstract

Objectives: To study the factors related to the outcome of cognitive rehabilitation for patients with traumatic brain injury. Patients and methodology: Including 24 patients diagnosed with traumatic brain injury for the first time being treated at Hanoi Rehabilitation Hospital from August, 2019 to November, 2020. The patient received rehabilitation cognitive exercises during 1 month at the hospital. Evaluation after 1 month treatment. Results: The common age is 20 - 60, accounting for 84,9%, the mean age is 35,3 ± 15,1. The male/female ratio is 3,71. The common traumatic brain injury time in the study group was 6 month – 1 year, accounting for 36,4%. After 1 month of treatment, most of disorder indexes have been improved better than those in the stage before training. FIM motor score and FIM cognitive score were statistically increased from 41,96±16,164 up to 46,67±16,877 points and from 19,58±7,983 up to 22,46±7,768 points. The role of age, sex or sufferer’s time have not statistically affected (p<0.05). However, the results of cognitive rehabilitation and age group, the results of cognitive rehabilitation between men and women, the results of cognitive rehabilitation before 6 month and after 6 month were not different (p > 0.05). Conclusion: FIM test has a satisfactory value in evaluation and training for the patients with cognitive disorder after traumatic brain injury. However, there was no difference between the results of of cognitive rehabilitation and age group, the results of cognitive rehabilitation between men and women, the results of cognitive rehabilitation before 6 month and after 6 month.
