req references on communication ability as a predictor of a closed traumatic brain injury

["G. Robert Arrabito" <Robert.Arrabito@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear listers,

I would greatly appreciate if someone would 
please point me to references pertaining to oral 
communication ability as a predictor of a closed 
traumatic brain injury (TBI). Causes of the TBI 
could include a motor vehicle accident or a bomb 
explosion. I?ve just embarked on this topic and 
am naïve on the subject matter. To date I have 
come across the article by Douglas, Bracy and 
Snow (2007) entitled ?Measuring Perceived 
Communicative Ability after traumatic brain 
injury: Reliability and validity of the La Trobe 
communication questionnaire? in Journal of Head 
Trauma Rehabilitation, 22(1), 31-39. I would also 
welcome comments on this article or on the 
subject matter per se. Please e-mail me directly 
and I?ll then post a summary of replies to the list. Thanks.


Rob
