COGREHAB

Computer Programs for Cognitive Rehabilitation

  New! To run from Windows LSA can provide a bootable CD which will have DOS USB drivers that will allow you to put this software on a USB flash memory stick onto which files can be written as well as read. 

     The COGREHAB series has over fifty programs which address a range of cognitive functions often impaired by brain injury from such causes as head trauma, stroke, brain tumor surgery, anoxia, and brain infections. The programs are tools to assist in the rehabilitation of brain injury survivors, usually with the assistance of a therapist. These programs allow therapy to be extended through independent exercise on a home computer. Cognitive domains addressed are Memory, Attention, Visual Information Processing, Language and Motor Function.

     Each program includes the COGREHAB "Shell", which permits you to enter data about your client. Once you enter this information, the program remembers it and you do not have to enter it again. For home therapy applications, you can pre-set the parameters so that the program will run with your prescribed settings and automatically store data on the program disk.

     Driving is a specific challenge for brain injury rehabilitation. To assist Driver Rehabilitation Specialists in their attempts to meet this challenge, Life Science Associates has developed tools for driving advisement: the Elemental Driving Simulator (EDS) and the functional visual fields programs (PERFIELD) from COGREHAB. These programs are designed to help would-be drivers recognize their current abilities, relative to other drivers.
