The computer in cognitive rehabilitation: it's not just a tool anymore.

Computers have increased the scope and duration of cognitive rehabilitation. They enable head trauma rehabilitation specialists to address dynamic (real-time) aspects of information processing (speed, efficiency, multiple events). Computer programs can be designed to encourage improved therapeutic p...

      ab: Computers have increased the scope and duration of cognitive rehabilitation. They enable head trauma rehabilitation specialists to address dynamic (real-time) aspects of information processing (speed, efficiency, multiple events). Computer programs can be designed to encourage improved therapeutic practices. Features, such as customized menus and the wide availability of portable, hard-disk computer systems permit the establishment of home-based computer-augmented cognitive rehabilitation programs, which allow an aggressive pursuit of restoration of function through exercise and practice. Computers are being used as mental prostheses and productivity tools, rather than as drillmasters, and thus they transform survivors of brain injury into executives. While computers have changed clinical practice, their inherent modifiability encourages clinicians in turn to change and direct them.
