Resumo(s)
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is currently recognized by the World Health Organization as being an issue of public health, usually resulting in disorders which impact the different areas of human functioning – biological, psychological and social. Developments in medicine and in acute and sub-acute healthcare now permit a good level of physical-functional recovery. It is the psychological effects however (cognitive, emotional and behavioral) - most persistent in the long term - which are the main cause of the difficulties that ABI patients have in reintegration into their various life contexts. For this reason, ABI has been referred to as a ‘silent epidemic’.
