Site Purpose
Brain injury can be a consequence of disease such as stroke or multiple sclerosis as well as trauma. Whatever the cause of injury, the result can be devastating in terms of quality of life. Those affected can suffer loss of cognitive function - attention and concentration, ability to remember, plan or reason, may be touched for example.
This site focuses on RehaCom, a powerful tool for therapists to use in Cognitive Rehabilitation. In doing so we also try to include relevant news and science from this important area of rehabilitation.
What is RehaCom?
Think of it this way. RehaCom is not a "cure"- It is a powerful software tool that in the hands of a skilled therapist or neuropsychologist, enables effective cognitive rehabilitation. Developed in Germany as a collaboration between computer scientists and neuropsychologists, RehaCom has evolved over almost 20 years to be the leading European tool for cognitive rehabilitation.
Although easy to use, RehaCom is extremely wide in scope and depth of capability. The software procedures are precisely defined to suit an equally precise diagnosis. The challenge presented to a client automatically adjusts to their real-time performance. It's a tool that in the right hands leads to real-world improvement where it matters - client quality of life. Learn more on this site.

Transforming brain cells to neurons
According to a study in the Public Library of Science Biology, support cells in the brain called astroglia can be turned into functioning neurons. Researchers found that they could transform the cells into two different classes of neurons, and that the neurons could form connections with one another in a dish.
Although the research is at an early stage, the finding suggests that scientists could someday recruit existing cells in the brain to repair the brain and spinal cord after a stroke, injury, or neurodegenerative disease.
Research shows brain training helpful
New research by psychologists at London Metropolitan University has revealed that modern brain training games can benefit people recovering from brain injuries and those suffering from dementia by helping them to reverse memory loss. The research revealed that just 15 minutes a day spent on brain training exercises promotes the growth of new brain cells, and could help those with memory problems lead more independent lives.

Procedure Quick Look
Three Dimensional Operations
Brief descriptionSpatial sense and attention performance are trained. This is achieved by showing several three- dimensional bodies on the screen which must be compared with a reference body. All of the bodies on the screen can be rotated freely, making a three-dimensional view possible. Stereo glasses for a genuine 3D represenration are an additional option.
Two Dimensional Operations
Brief descriptionThe procedure "Two-dimensional operations" trains the positioned relationship with two dimensional presentation. The task is to find the picture of a matrix which exactly corresponds to a "comparison picture". The corresponding picture is twisted towards the "comparison picture".
Spatial Operations
Brief description
The ability to imagine something spatially is the focus of the procedure "spatial operations". It is trained in 5 categories: estimating positions, estimating angles, estimating relations (filling of vessels) and estimating sizes one- and two-dimensionally.
Vigilance
Brief descriptionThe ability to maintain one's attention over a longer period of time is trained in a design with limited response time towards the items. The task of the patient is to monitor a conveyor belt and to select those objects that differ from a sample object in one or several details.
Ability to Respond
Brief descriptionThe objective of reactivity training is to improve the speed and accuracy of reactions to visual and acoustic stimuli. Simple, simple choice and multiple choice reaction tasks are designed to train the patient to react as quickly and differentially as possible to signals- Three dimensional operations (RO3D)
- Two Dimensional Operations (VRO1)
- Spatial operations (RAUM)
- Vigilance (VIGI)
- Ability to respond (REA1)
