Abstract
Brain injury is a common source of disability among adolescents and young adults. This study analyzed long-term functioning of adolescent participants after completing post-acute rehabilitation. Results of this longitudinal study indicated overall functioning of the participants was significantly improved at follow up as compared with functioning at discharge. However, while participants experienced significant increases with overall functioning, they also experienced nonsignificant decreases in other areas. The results suggest that improvement in functioning reported by youth and young adults recovering from a brain injury may not generalize across all domains of functional activities, and that scores derived from measures of global functioning may obscure significant deficits that impair progress toward independence.
