Association Between Disability and Life Satisfaction, Participation, and Psychological Health
Overreliance on functional outcome measures such as the GOSE in postacute TBI assessment fails to capture critically important aspects of recovery that fall outside this domain. Persons with more functional disability often report similar levels of life satisfaction, participation, and psychological health as those with less disability. Clinicians should recognize that bidirectional dissociations between level of disability and ratings of well-being are common and should be evaluated accordingly.
