This case study describes the changes in the quantity of work production of a 32 year-old male paralegal secondary to a mild brain injury from a racquetball racket blow to the frontal lobe area. The case illustrates how a work analysis can serve as an effective evaluation tool and how the utilization of assistive technology can circumvent executive functioning challenges and improve work production and client self-reported self-esteem. This evaluative and intervention process may be highly effective in mild-brain injury where executive functioning disorders cannot be identified through typical methods. Yet a detailed comparison of work productivity pre and post injury through work samples, interviews, and observations may be a powerful system to differentiate changes in executive functioning.
本案例研究描述了一名32岁男性律师助理因壁球拍击中额叶区域导致轻度脑损伤后工作产出量的变化。该案例说明了工作分析如何能作为一种有效的评估工具，以及辅助技术的应用如何能够规避执行功能方面的挑战，并提高工作产出和客户自我报告的自尊水平。这种评估和干预过程在轻度脑损伤中可能非常有效，因为在这种情况下，通过典型方法无法识别执行功能障碍。然而，通过工作样本、访谈和观察对受伤前后的工作效率进行详细比较，可能是区分执行功能变化的有力系统。
