“…While compensatory strategy training may be an effective approach for improving performance in daily life tasks, practising this type of training in face-to-face conditions under the guidance of a cognitive trainer is time-consuming and, thus, costly 8 9. Incorporating elements from serious games (SG) or computerised cognitive training (CCT) in compensatory strategy training may reduce the need for constant supervision as it allows for guided home practice.…”

IntroductionMany individuals with acquired brain injury tend to experience problems with slowed information processing speed (IPS). A potentially beneficial and cost-effective supplement for cognitive rehabilitation of impaired IPS may be the implementation of serious gaming that focuses on compensatory learning as part of cognitive training. However, most digital platforms used during cognitive rehabilitation focus on restoring cognitive function and evidence for skill transfer from digital practice to everyday life is lacking. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of a game-supported cognitive strategy training. The training combines a well-validated time pressure management cognitive strategy training, targeting slowed IPS, with a novel game and a mobile application. The game-supported training focuses on the generalisation of strategy-use to untrained tasks in everyday life.Methods and analysisThe study is designed as a randomised controlled trial in which the experimental group (Karman Line — Tempo module: an 8-week game-supported cognitive strategy training) will be compared with an active control group (CogniPlus training: an 8-week computerised cognitive function training). Data from 60 individuals with acquired brain injury (30 per group, ages between 16 and 75) will be collected at baseline (T0), post-treatment (T1) and at 3-month follow-up (T2). The primary outcome measure is an objective assessment of compensatory strategy use in an untrained experimental task. The secondary outcome is the attainment of trained and untrained treatment goals assessed by goal attainment scaling. Pre-training and post-training data will be analysed using a 2×2 repeated measure analysis of variance.Ethics and disseminationThis study has been approved by the medical review ethics committee CMO Region Arnhem and Nijmegen (NL74818.091.20) and is registered in the Netherlands Trial Register. Research findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at conferences.Trial registration numberNL9437; The Netherlands Trial Register.
