Long Term Outcome Following Mild TBI

Following patients who reported mild TBI for an average of eight (8) years post injury, revealed that “MTBI can have adverse long term neuropsychological outcomes on subtle aspects of complex attention and working memory.” (Danderploeg, RD 2005).

A European study from 2006 followed the progression of victims of MTBI. The results of follow-up neuropsychological testing showed “the idea that MTBI can have sustained consequences, and that the subjectively experienced symptoms and difficulties in every day situations are related to objectively measurable parameters in neuro-cognitive function.” (Sterr A, et al. 2006).
