Abstract
This study attempts to determine the relationship between cognitive capabilities and social participation, over a 1-year period, among people who have experienced traumatic brain-injury (TBI). Using the Disability Creation Process as a basis for making hypotheses, three research questions were examined: (1) Do cognitive capabilities improve over time?; (2) Does social participation improve over time?; and (3) Are these two concepts related over time? The results and their clinical implications on rehabilitation are discussed, along with the limitations of this study.
