The series of systematic reviews on cognitive rehabilitation for people with traumatic
brain injury or stroke published in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation present the current evidence and recommendations for clinical practice. The authors
performed an impressive amount of work summarizing the literature from 1998 until
2014. We are looking forward to the coming update covering years that are more recent.
To support this update, we would like to address a recommendation put forward in the
latest article

that appears to raise some confusion in the clinical field. While in the 2011 version
of the review,

computer-based interventions were considered as useful additions to clinician-guided
treatment but not as stand-alone interventions, in the 2019 version direct-attention
training, including the use of computer-based interventions, is upgraded from a practice
option to a practice guideline on the basis of 4 studies published between 2009 and
2014.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment

- PreviewWe appreciate the opportunity to clarify our recommendations for evidence-based rehabilitation of attention deficits after traumatic brain injury and stoke. In our 2011 article,1 we recommended a Practice Standard for incorporating both direct-attention training and metacognitive strategy training to promote compensatory strategies and generalization to real-life tasks. We also recommended a general Practice Option for the use of computer-based interventions as an adjunct to clinician-guided treatment.
