Brief Summary:
This study seeks to conduct a pilot study to test whether a cognitive training program can improve processing speed abilities in individuals with acute traumatic spinal cord injury
Detailed Description:
Spinal cord injury SCI newly affects approximately 18000 persons in the US per year Decades of research have focused on the physical limitations associated with SCI as well as therapies for addressing these physical problems However it is becoming better acknowledged that many individuals experience significant problems with their cognitive abilities such as attention memory and the time it takes them to process information Research has shown that people who have cognitive difficulties compared to those with a purely physical disability are less likely to be employed engage in fewer social and work-related activities have greater difficulties carrying out routine household tasks and are at higher risk for mental illness If cognitive issues arise after an SCI it is more likely that a person would have a more challenging time adapting the many lifestyle changes brought about by their injury would benefit less from their rehabilitation program and have more difficulty rejoining the workforce As it stands cognitive assessment or rehabilitation is not part of the standard of care for individuals after their SCI because of the relative lack of research in this area This study seeks to conduct a multisite pilot study to test whether a cognitive training program can improve processing speed abilities in individuals shortly after they experience their SCI with the hopes that this early intervention will improve the trajectory of their overall health and well-being
