Sammanfattning

Introduction: Studies indicate that early rehabilitation is associated with better outcomes in severely traumatic brain injured patients (TBI). Main part: The case report describes early rehabilitation at The Early Rehabilitation Unit, Oslo University Hospital Ullevaal, of a 35 year old man with severe TBI after a fall accident in autumn 2008. The early rehabilitation started 9 days post-injury while the patient still was ventilator dependent and emerging from coma. The case report focuses on the interventions positioning, range of movement exercises and mobilization. The patient made a good neurological and functional recovery during the 11 days of the early rehabilitation phase, before transferral to a specialist rehabilitation hospital. It is difficult to separate the meaning of spontaneous recovery, intensive- and neurosurgical treatment from specific rehabilitation interventions. Conclusion: The results indicate that positioning, range of movement exercises and mobilization are feasible and safe interventions, and contribute to fewer complications and improved functional recovery. Further research is needed to study the effects of different therapeutic interventions in early rehabilitation of patients with severe TBI.
