A comprehensive questionnaire which measured gross and fine motor function in the area of cognition, communication, and social development was completed by parents of children and young adults who had suffered severe closed head injuries between the years 1967 and 1978. The final sample included 42 returned questionnaires. Of these patients, 15 (37%) were considered independent, 20 (49%) dependent, and 6 (14%) had died. The area of cognition and communication dysfunction seemed to contribute most to dependency. The younger age group and the patients who were comatose for a shorter period of time tended to do the best functionally. While severe closed head injury can result in significant disability, many patients can achieve functional independence.
