Abstract

In Sweden, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability across all ages, and the need for rehabilitation and long-term follow-up is as important as in many other countries. This article presents the rehabilitation of TBI in Sweden. Strengths and weaknesses of TBI rehabilitation within the Swedish healthcare system are described, together with examples of research and development.
