Abstract
Everyday in the United States persons who are functioning effectively in activities that meet their daily living needs and role responsibilities are rendered incapable by events such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, and other neurological disorders. As medical technology and emergency medical systems have become increasingly effective at reducing the mortality associated with neurological disease and trauma, there has been a concomitant rise in morbidity. Physiologic existence is perpetuated, yet many survivors are left permanently disabled. The quality of their lives is a function of the degree to which they can resume everyday life and role-related activities.
