PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To describe the functional outcome of 19 patients with anterior communicating artery aneurysm following the completion of an inter-disciplinary out-patient rehabilitation programme. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective descriptive study. Setting: Community-based inter-disciplinary outpatient programme. Patients: n = 19; consecutive referred sample, mean 182 days post-onset; in-patient rehabilitation completed. Intervention: Inter-disciplinary treatment of functional activities; 2-5 hours/day, 3-5 days/week; mean duration: 55-57 days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Supervision rating scale (SRS) and change in prevalence at admission and discharge of executive impairments, memory, confabulation, apathy, initiation, social inappropriateness and incontinence. RESULTS: Sixty per cent of the patients showed a clinically significant improvement in their SRS from requiring full-time supervision to part-time supervision. Change in SRS was correlated with change in the impairments of executive function, memory and confabulation. CONCLUSION: Although pervasive impairments associated with this disorder may limit capacity for even moderate independence, substantial reduction in direct supervision by family members may be achieved.
