“…A recent study using the Caregiver Activity Survey in various neurological conditions (including 35 TBI) reported similar findings for ICT, particularly identifying ST as being the most time-consuming activity (median = 28 h/wk). 43 The high level of ICT-ST in the present study also suggests that supervision is a major component of ICT for adults with neurological disability 44,45 and is concordant with the loss of cognitive autonomy as shown by the 24% of patients with legal guardianship. Surprisingly, ICT in the objectively overburdened group contrasted with a low recourse and amount of formal care provision.…”
