History Of The Cognitive

Rehabilitation Software System

Since 1985 we have spent an enormous amount of time and effort developing a microcomputer-based program for the cognitive rehabilitation of the head-injured. The basic intention of the cognitive rehabilitation programme is to provide the head injury patient with material that will provide an appropriate level of both stimulation and intellectual challenge in a highly motivating form. The system as developed allows the head injured to work on a controlled rehabilitation programme in the comfort and security of the home with the aid of personal computers - either as stand alone machines or as networked terminals linked by telephone to a central computer. This suite of programs has been developed by Dr. Hutch Curry as part of his pioneering work on cognitive rehabilitation of the head injured. The rehabilitation suite consists of computer programs that patients use to improve their memory, concentration and logic. These programs are aimed at one or more of the cognitive processes that are often disrupted by brain damage. There are several important features common to all programs. The programs are enjoyable to use, robust, and easy to operate. All of the performance measures are available for monitoring and storage using any of our control systems. Additionally all of the more recent programs are automatically adaptable to the patient's current performance over a wide range of abilities. Although the material was written for head injury survivors, it has been used successfully in other centers with stroke patients, geriatrics, children with and without learning disability and Alzheimer's sufferers. The programs have been broken down into a 15 categories covering the following subjects.
