Rehabilitation of attention in two patients with traumatic brain injury by means of ‘attention process training’
Primary objective: This case study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Solhberg and Mateer's Attention Process Training (APT) using a comprehensive evaluation of various attentional processes. Methods and procedures: Two patients with severe traumatic brain injury were given the APT in a chronic phase. Attentional processes were evaluated at various stages before, during and after treatment, using the Testbatterie zur Aufmerksamkeitsprufung and the Test of everyday attention. Main outcomes and results: Both patients showed some degree of recovery, particularly in attentional tasks with a selective component. Lesser improvement was present in the case of tasks mapping on the intensity dimension of attention (alertness, vigilance). Training achievements were confirmed by the use of a functional scale evaluating attention, pointing to the generality of improvements. Conclusion: The results indicate selective training effects of APT on the attentional disturbances of TBI patients.
