Functional recovery following traumatic vs non-traumatic brain injury: a case-controlled study.
To explore differences in rate of recovery and functional outcome in case-matched patients with traumatic (TBI) vs non-traumatic brain injury (non-TBI) during inpatient rehabilitation and 1 year post-insult. ⋯ Results from the present study support the hypothesis that TBI patients achieve greater functional improvements compared to non-TBI patients when matched according to injury and demographic characteristics.
