abstract="Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impacts a significant portion of individuals, and can have lasting consequences. One of the most common and persistent difficulties experienced post-TBI is deficits in memory, which impact up to 80% of TBI survivors. Early memory rehabilitation research concentrated on the direct retraining approach. In recent years, the focus of rehabilitative efforts has shifted to teaching compensatory strategies and optimizing residual abilities. This review examines the evidence for these various approaches to memory rehabilitation, concluding that there remains a need for full scale randomised clinical trials to determine their efficacy in improving independence.   <p></p>  <p>Language: en</p>",
