Rehabilitation Assessment and Management of Neurosensory Deficits After Traumatic Brain Injury in the Polytrauma Veteran - 23/11/18
Résumé |
Neurosensory deficits after traumatic brain injury can frequently lead to disability; therefore, diagnosis and treatment are important. Posttraumatic headaches typically resemble migraines and are managed similarly, but adjuvant physical therapy may be beneficial. Sleep-related issues are treated pharmacologically based on the specific sleep-related complaint. Fatigue is difficult to treat; cognitive behavioral therapy and aquatic therapy can be beneficial.

Peripheral and central vestibular dysfunction causes dizziness and balance dysfunction, and the mainstay of treatment is vestibular physical therapy. Visual dysfunction incorporates numerous different diagnoses, which are frequently treated with specific rehabilitation programs.
