The result of a project in the western region of Sweden regarding a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to patients with severe traumatic brain injury/subarachnoid bleeding is reported. The importance of early structured intervention and long-range follow-up by a rehabilitation team is stressed. The goal is to afford patients and their families/caregivers optimal care and support from the time of injury through rehabilitation. The project has resulted in an established clinical routine. Results indicate that patients treated in this manner attain a higher level of performance in a shorter period of time. Furthermore, results from one-year post-injury evaluation demonstrate a high degree of Life Satisfaction (Fugl-Meyer questionnaire) for most patients. This is a long-range study which will monitor patients for at least four years.
