Abstract
The functional status and perceived problems of 21 persons with severe brain injury were reported at admission, and at 1 and 3 years post-discharge from a community-based post-acute rehabilitation programme. Functional status was measured by participation in productive activity, financial support, place of residence and level of supervision required. Improvements observed at 1-year follow-up remained stable or had improved at 3-year follow-up. Loneliness and depression, while not reported at admission, increased over time to become the two problems reported most frequently at 3-year follow-up.Keywords
