ABSTRACT
Most brain-injury patients are usually offered physical therapy where the treatment principles follow the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) theories by Bobath (1970). However, the Bobath concept appears to be insufficient in meeting the special cognitive, social, and emotional problems and integrating these variables into patient examination and physical rehabilitation of stroke or cranial trauma after 2 years or more. If the physical treatment and education in an intensive neuropsychological rehabilitation program takes place in "normal" surroundings, the results tend to demonstrate a greater "transfer effect" than it has been possible to achieve in an institutional environment.
