A multifunction cognitive orthotic (CO), designed for individuals with significant deficits from traumatic brain injury, enables rapid unassisted reliable performance of a targeted task and facilitates transfer of training across subsequent activity tasks for most participants. Consistency in design ensures consistent cues and organization as well as unchanging procedural format as content and tasks vary. Of the 41 participants provided a clinical assessment trial with a CO, 36 (88%) demonstrated rapid achievement of success on the initial task. Thereafter, transfer of training was achieved across subsequent targeted activity tasks by changing only the content, in the context of stable CO design. Many individuals with brain injury can be self-sufficient in performing, unassisted, the essential steps of targeted activities when provided a properly designed compensatory assistive device.
一种为创伤性脑损伤导致严重功能缺陷的个体设计的多功能认知矫正器（CO），能使大多数参与者在无辅助情况下快速可靠地完成目标任务，并促进跨后续活动任务的训练迁移。设计的一致性确保了线索和组织的一致性，以及随着内容和任务的变化而不变的程序形式。在41名接受CO临床评估试验的参与者中，36名（88%）在初始任务上迅速取得成功。此后，在稳定的CO设计背景下，仅通过改变内容就实现了跨后续目标活动任务的训练迁移。当提供一个设计合理的补偿性辅助设备时，许多脑损伤个体在无辅助情况下能够自行完成目标活动的基本步骤。
