Abstract

A substantial proportion of aging ABI patients experience a secondary decline in participation. This phenomenon is referred to as the post-ABI effect. This effect is not associated with demographic or injury-related characteristics, but resilience might be a mitigating factor. Greater awareness in clinical practice of this post-ABI effect is needed to identify potential targets for treatment to cope with this effect.
