Official Journal of the
About this Issue: TBI in the Military

One of JHTR’s most popular recent topical issues addressed TBI in the military. The journal has continued to receive numerous manuscripts addressing TBI among members of the military who were injured in combat deployments during the past decade. The current issue is a second installment of TBI in the Military, though it is an “ad hoc” topical issue.  All the articles included here were submitted as unsolicited manuscripts (and were subsequently revised and accepted following blinded peer review like all original articles in JHTR). These articles were not solicited as part of a planned topical issue.  We felt their common applicability deserved publishing them together in this first issue of 2012. You may be interested our press release accompanying this issue.

This issue of the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation also contains the first installment of a new special feature that we hope clinicians in brain injury rehabilitation will find useful.  In collaboration with the Center for Outcomes Measurement in Brain Injury (COMBI) at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, California, “Tools for Clinical Use” will appear three times per year and feature instruments that can be used in treatment and program evaluation for persons with brain injury.  When allowed, copies of instruments will be available on the JHTR website.  The first instrument featured is the Patient Competency Rating System developed by George Prigatano.  Read the press release for further information about this new feature and the collaboration with the COMBI website.
