Comparison of the effect differences between the cognitive training by computer aid or expert along in the patients with brain injury

Objective:To investigate the effect differences between the cognitive training by computer aid or expert along in patients with brain injury.Method:Thirty-four inpatients with brain injury in a rehabilitation department with simlar mean age,and years of education and percentage of male and female.They were divided into the groups of computer aid training and expert along training by method of randomly counting seeds.The disciplinal content was the same in two groups,including 6 domains of orientation,visual perception,spatial perception,motor praxis,visuomotor organization and thinking operations.Expert along training was performed by therapists using cards and apparatus ect,1/day,30min/time;computer aid training was performed by computer using OT-SOFT software;the training was separated avoiding mutual interference.Result:After training,total scores and each item scores of computer aid training group and expert along training group were significantly higher than pretraining(P0.05).Compared with expert along training,computer aid training revealed no significant difference on orientation,visual perception,spatial perception,motor praxis and visuomotor organization;while in thinking operations domain,computer aid training was better than expert along training.Conclusion:Both expert along training and computer aid training could markedly improve cognition disturbance of patients with brain injury,and there was no significant difference between expert along training and computer aid training.While compared with expert along training,computer aid training was better in thinking operations domain,had affluent contents,and could save manpower and improve work efficiency of training.
