Abstract
Patients with TBI showed initial impairment and subsequent partial recovery of MDC over a 6-month period. Complex consent abilities of appreciation, reasoning, and understanding were significantly impaired in hospitalized acute TBI patients. At follow-up, TBI patients showed substantial recovery of reasoning and partial recovery of appreciation and understanding consent abilities. The study suggests the importance in the rehabilitation setting of serial evaluations of MDC in patients with TBI.
