Optimizing Rehabilitation Outcomes Through Contextualized Treatment (PDF)
The Optimizing Rehabilitation Outcomes through Contextualized Treatment project provided evidence that increasing contextualized treatment during inpatient rehabilitation for traumatic brain injury improves outcomes, including community participation and functional independence. Contextualized treatment works directly on performance of real-life activities important to the patient, such as grooming, cooking, and engaging in preferred recreational activities.
Decontextualized treatment, in contrast, aims to strengthen component skills and abilities that underlie real life activities, but does not incorporate activities typically done at home. Decontextualized rehabilitation activities use paper and pencil or computerized tasks for cognitive functions and strengthening or coordination exercises for physical functions. This continuing educational program provides tools to facilitate implementation of study’s findings, including a menu of contextualized treatment activities, a family interview, treatment kits, documentation templates, a cheat sheet, and frequently asked questions.
