abstract = "Attention deficits are a highly prevalent result of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that has a profound effect on an individual's functional abilities. However, studies that test the severely impaired inpatient population are scarce. 21 severe TBI inpatients completed 2-week intervention (either visuo-haptic environment training or standard attention training). Results indicate that patients who received the VR intervention may exhibit greater improvement in clinical attention scores compared to those in the control group. Performance during the VR intervention was retained from one day to the next, (even when patients were in post-traumatic amnesia). Visuo-haptic environments could be beneficial for this population.",
