Sumario:Acquired brain injury (ABI) could cause physical, motor, neuropsychological, and generate a disability on affected people. The holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation attempts to reduce these cognitive, behavioural, emotional and social sequels. Holistic approach propose a combined work of individual and grupal interventions, training in enviorments the most real as possible, as weell as the family and vocational interventions. The goal of this rehabilitation is to generalise the achived results to the patient's daily life to increase their functional, autonomy and their quality of life. The aim of this study was to analyse and compare the cognitive performance, and quality of life, before and after to follow a holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation program that included activities on real environment. A sample of 20 persons with ABI was studied. Neuropsychological assessment analized performance on attention, memory, executive functions and quality of life. Results showed statistically significant differences on attention, memory and executive functions performance and in quality of life. These findings suggest that holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation, that included the work on real environments, could contribute to generalizing the cognitive outcome to daily life and increase quality of life of ABI persons.
