In a retrospective study of 121 patients who have sustained closed head injury, the levels of functional return are reviewed in terms of factors of prognostic value. These factors are age, coma duration and presence of decerebration. Decerebration, when it resolves early, can be compatible with a good functional outcome. The majority of patients who survive head injury make substantial neurologic recovery. Almost 50% of the patients have a good neurologic recovery. About two-thirds of the patients become ambulatory and capable of self-care activities.
在一项对121例闭合性颅脑损伤患者的回顾性研究中，根据具有预后价值的因素对功能恢复水平进行了评估。这些因素包括年龄、昏迷持续时间和去大脑强直的存在情况。去大脑强直若早期缓解，则可能与良好的功能预后相符。大多数颅脑损伤存活患者会有显著的神经功能恢复。近50%的患者神经功能恢复良好。约三分之二的患者能够行走并具备自我护理能力。
