Abstract

Since the inception of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, an increasing number of veterans have sought treatment from the Department of Veterans Affairs for combat-related injuries. Many veterans experience postconcussive symptoms, traumatic stress, chronic pain, sensory deficits, and/or headaches. The goal of this article was to highlight some of the challenges treatment providers may face, while providing rehabilitation specialists with important evaluation and treatment considerations in working with this population to maximize outcomes for these veterans.<br /> (Published by Elsevier Inc.)
