Objective: Spatial navigation has a crucial function in daily life activities, and is therefore strongly linked to quality of life, autonomy, and mobility. Navigation has been shown to be frequently impaired after forms of acquired brain injury, but the impact of MS on navigation ability has yet to be studied. A better understanding of potential navigation problems in this population could improve patient care.

It is important to investigate to what degree people with acquired brain injuries (ABI) suffer from navigation impairments. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of objective and subjective navigation impairments in the population of ABI patients.

Methods: A case series of patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit due to COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure is described.
Results: After cessation of sedatives, the described cases all showed a prolonged comatose state.
With technological possibilities in healthcare steadily increasing, more tools for digital cognitive rehabilitation become available. Acceptance of such technological advances is crucial for successful implementation. Therefore, we examined technology acceptance specifically for this form of rehabilitation in a sample of healthcare providers involved in cognitive rehabilitation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAs we become familiar with an environment through navigation and map study, spatial information is encoded into a mental representation of space. It is currently unclear to what degree mental representations of space are determined by the perspective in which spatial information is acquired. The overlapping model of spatial knowledge argues that spatial information is encoded into a common spatial representation independent of learning perspective, whereas the partially independent model argues for dissociated spatial representations specific to the learning perspective.
