Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to develop a research-based pedagogic model to improve the interaction between the patient's motivation, influence and learning.The hypothesis is: A neuro-rehabilitation effort in patients with severe traumatic brain injury based on a didactic model for improvement of motivation, involvement and re-learning of daily life competences will

• improve the patients experience of meaningful learning and influence
• provide staff with a tool which contributes to the experience to work in a targeted way concerning motivation, patient influence and re-learning daily life competencies The aim of the study is to develop a research-based didactic model to improve the interaction between the patient's motivation, influence and learning.
