For many rehab providers, research remains secondary to treatment. Scientific inquiry—both time-consuming and expensive—must be relegated to the background due to the enormous demands of the clinic. At MossRehab, however, a team devoted entirely to research operates within the infrastructure of the rehabilitation hospital. Collectively called the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), these researchers work [...]

by Tania Giovannetti, Myrna F. Schwartz, PhD, Laurel J. Buxbaum, PsyD. Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Errors in everyday activities pose significant consequences for individuals with mild cognitive deficits. However, there are few performance-based methods available to study action in these populations; the Coffee Challenge (CC) was designed for this purpose. Experiment 1 examined CC [...]

by Kevin Cicerone, Harvey Levin, James Malec, Donald Stuss, John Whyte, MD, PhD. JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute. Executive function mediated by prefrontally driven distributed networks is frequently impaired by traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a result of diffuse axonal injury and focal lesions. In addition to executive cognitive functions such as planning and working memory, [...]

by John Whyte, MD, PhD, Patricia Grieb-Neff, Christopher Gantz, Marcia Polansky. Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia, PA, United States. Clinical reports after traumatic brain injury (TBI) suggest frequent difficulties with sustained attention, but their objective measurement has proved difficult. In 1997, Robertson and colleagues reported on a new sustained attention assessment [...]
