The level of social recovery achieved by a representative series of 50 young adults was assessed six months after a severe closed head injury (post-traumatic amnesia greater than 24 hours). Work, leisure activities, and contact with friends were the areas of life most affected, whereas family life and marital relationships appeared to withstand changes at this stage in the recovery process. Many patients were still suffering from subjective symptoms, but these appeared to have relatively minor effects on ability to resume normal activities. Physical disability was a much more important factor at this stage. A control group of patients with limb injuries suffered similar disruption of their lives, but reported few subjective complaints.
对50名年轻成年人的代表性样本在严重闭合性颅脑损伤（创伤后遗忘大于24小时）六个月后所实现的社会恢复水平进行了评估。工作、休闲活动以及与朋友的联系是生活中受影响最大的领域，而家庭生活和婚姻关系在恢复过程的这个阶段似乎能够经受住变化。许多患者仍有主观症状，但这些症状对恢复正常活动能力的影响似乎相对较小。身体残疾在这个阶段是一个更为重要的因素。一组肢体受伤的对照组患者生活也受到了类似的干扰，但主观抱怨较少。
