The SDMT offers a novel way of examining decision making within a social context following TBI and may also be useful in other populations known to have specific social cognition impairment. Future research should aim to provide further clarification of the mechanisms of action and neuroanatomical correlates of poor performance on this task.
These results are discussed in terms of the role of the negative experience of ostracism in motivating and guiding behaviour to re-establish group membership to prevent future social isolation.
Reflective action informed assessment applying ICF concepts to clinical problem solving resulted in positive gains in health-related quality of life in a stroke survivor.
This chapter considers the types of measures used in rehabilitation and health settings, including their alignment with the major health and disease diagnostic and classification systems. The chapter provides an overview of the needs that are served by rehabilitation and health assessments and highlights the increasing importance of measures that yield data to guide decisions to support functioning across a broad range of life domains. It makes the case for prospective rehabilitation and health assessments that predict more reliably future functioning in preferred activities taking into account personal and environment interactions. Environmental factors include the context for both achieved and aspired participation and for which rehabilitation and health supports are intended. The future of rehabilitation and health assessments is tied to their ability to provide data that translate directly into needed support services for maximal participation by people living with debilitating health conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
