Background: The prevalence of acquired brain injury is on a steady rise globally. This has important implications for individuals, their families,
broader society, and even the socioeconomic landscape of countries. Addressing the complexity of these impairments is challenging, especially
in individuals with severe impairments. Several health professionals highlight the Affolter Modell® as an effective method for enhancing basic
perceptual and cognitive functions in relation to sensory stimuli processing, potentially impacting higher cognitive functions such as planning and
problem solving in daily tasks. Unfortunately, the Affolter Modell® lacks scientific evidence, which hinders its widespread use in neuro-rehabilitation.
Objective: This protocol aims to explore the potential benefits of Guided Interaction Therapy (GTI.. Read More»
