Summary

In a worldwide context of accelerated demographic aging, traumatic brain injury (TBI) in older adults has become a public health problem. TBI incidence grows following an exponential curve as people get older, increasing the occurrence of TBI in ageing individuals. Rehabilitation programs used in clinical settings have generally been developed for younger adults, and their efficacy with older adults who sustain a TBI has not been evaluated. The investigators have tailored a modular cognitive rehabilitation program for individuals who sustain a TBI in older adulthood, the Cognitive Enrichment Program (CEP), by adapting approaches which have shown to be effective in normal ageing and with other neurological conditions. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CEP in adults having sustained a TBI during later adulthood. Specific objectives are to evaluate the effectiveness on memory, executive functions, psychological well-being and daily life activities using psychometric tests, self-reported questionnaires, and daily life-like tasks. The investigators hypothesize that memory and executive functions training included in the CEP will result in an improvement in both psychometric and self-reported scores in a trained group of older individuals with TBI, whereas this will not be the case for a comparable TBI group who did not receive the CEP intervention.
