“…While dependency in basic activities and restrictions in mobility were found to represent major limitations to work participation among other health conditions such as traumatic brain injury, 28 stroke, 29 amputations, 30 and spinal cord injury, 11,12 driving a car as a facilitating factor of employment was seldom described. 31 There are many potential explanations for B-ADL dependency being a barrier to work participation. The relative increased time to perform the ADL tasks without assistance, or the lack of availability of a caregiver to facilitate the ADL tasks due to financial constraints would clearly make active employment more difficult.…”

Introduction: Remunerative employment is a major concern of individuals with chronic disabilities, among them, those with longstanding poliomyelitis (LSP). Although LSP is not rare there are almost no data related to work participation. Purpose: The aims of the current study were to determine the effects of a number of social and functional variables as barriers or facilitators to work participation in persons with LSP. Patients and methods: Charts of 123 LSP patients of working age that were seen in the post-polio outpatient clinic, between the years 2000 and 2005 were reviewed for the study. Data on age, gender, family status, level of function in activities of daily living, basic, and extended (B-ADL and E-ADL), and mobility were then analyzed for correlation to the vocational status. Results: Seventy-two people (58.5%) were employed at the time of the survey. Gender and marital status were not found to significantly differ as regard to employment. Using assistive devices for mobility or being dependent for basic ADL were associated with lower levels of employment. Driving was positively associated with the employment status of the LSP individuals. Conclusion: Persons with LSP encounter important barriers to work participation, particularly on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) components of activity and environment.

“…Ten studies identified either single or multiple cognitive variables as predictors of RTW post TBI, including 4 Level I studies [22,25,33,34], one Level II study [23], 2 Level III studies [21,26], and 3 Level IV studies [24,35,36]. Executive functioning emerged as the most commonly cited predictor variable of RTW post TBI and was cited in three studies [23,34,35].…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:Approximately two percent of the United States population are traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors. The unemployment rate among them is substantial. Cognitive skills are essential to perform any job. OBJECTIVE: We analyzed the literature on cognitive rehabilitation (CR) related to mild/moderate TBI to learn the influence of cognition on return to work (RTW) post TBI. METHODS:We conducted a systematic review of the studies on CR related to RTW post TBI that were published between 2000 and 2015. RESULTS: We critically reviewed 30 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Ten studies highlighted cognition as a predictor variable, seven studies demonstrated support for cognitive testing in RTW assessments, and 13 studies showed the efficacy of CR in facilitating RTW post TBI. CONCLUSION: Cognition plays a significant role in predicting and facilitating RTW in patients with TBI.

“…Estas alterações são frequentemente comuns, independentemente da etiologia da lesão cerebral, embora se verifique uma tendência para haver maior predominância de défices em todos os domínios no caso de lesões resultado de TCE, e défices mais circunscritos a determinados domínios (por exemplo, hemiparesia direita, afasias, entre outros) nas situações em que a lesão é resultante de AVC. Os défices resultantes da lesão cerebral interferem com a habilidade da pessoa para desempenhar papéis sociais e vocacionais de forma bem-sucedida (Tsaousides et al, 2009), limitando a sua participação nos percursos de trabalho e emprego (Kruetzer et al, 2003) e produzindo alterações no bem-estar e na QdV dos pacientes e dos seus familiares.…”

The impact of a holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation program on quality of life of patients with acquired brain injury AbstractAfter acquired brain injury (ABI) rehabilitation aims to increase the individual's functionality promoting their Quality of Life (QoL). The main goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of a holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation program (HNRP) on quality of life dimensions. Twenty subjects with ABI participated, mean age 30 years (SD=7.62). Participants were assessed pre and post intervention, with a six months interval, using

Moderating Factors in Return to Work and Job Stability After Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract: Data analysis provided evidence that employment stability is predictable with a combination of functional, demographic, and injury severity variables. Identification of people at risk for poor employment outcomes early on can facilitate rehabilitation planning and intervention.
