Fatigue in young patients with acquired brain injury in the outpatient rehabilitation setting: A 2-year follow-up study.

Acquired brain injury (ABI) may cause fatigue and participation restrictions in young patients. However, knowledge regarding the course of these problems over time is lacking. This study aims to describe the course of fatigue and participation and their relationship over time in an observational two-year follow-up study among patients(5-24 years) with ABI referred for outpatient rehabilitation and their parents.

Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the ICHOM standard set for stroke: the Dutch version.

Purpose: Brain injuries (traumatic-/nontraumatic, TBI/nTBI) in young patients may lead to problems e.g., decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and causes family impact.

Fatigue in young patients with acquired brain injury in the rehabilitation setting: Categorizing and interpreting fatigue severity levels.

Purpose: Fatigue in patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) is common. However, to better target fatigue, clear ways to categorize/interpret fatigue-severity in individual patients are lacking. This study aims to determine/categorize fatigue severity among children, adolescents, and young adults with ABI.
