Personality Traits as a Variable in the Recovery of Patients With Acquired Brain Injury

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the potential effects of premorbid personality on the short- and long-term global cognitive recovery in patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI) or stroke.

The secondary aims are to assess the effects of premorbid personality on the sort- and long-term recovery in autonomy (disability), cognitive functions, psycho-behavioral functioning, motor skills, and social participation. Evaluate the incidence of premorbid personality alterations. Investigate personality changes 12-18 months after the neurological event.
