How To Make The Most From Our Magazine
Regardless what you’re using whether it is an
Apple iPad or an Android tablet or even a PC we
have carefully researched and selected applications
that we would consider to be the most beneficial.
All apps are categorized in to the following – Apple
– Android – PC. Each app will then be categorized
by the type – Visual app – Brain trainer app and
Practical apps and cost if any? We also rate all apps
out of five stars. All apps also have a hyper link so
it makes it easier to find them on the internet.
Please also note that when using these applications
that you must pace yourself to avoid getting too
tired. If you are unsure about pacing please get
advice from your health care professional.
Gerry White- Team Leader
Profile:
My name is Gerry White; I’ve been an Occupational Therapist for
over 20yrs. For the last 15 years I’ve only worked in the field of
brain injury rehabilitation.
We came up with the idea of Cog gym as a way of trying to use new technologies
with people as smart phones and tablets are so ubiquitous nowadays. The one
problem is we as therapist are just learning what we can do as well as the patients.
Therefore this is our way of helping and learning with each other.
The project group meet every Monday to try to research apps, books, ideas,
information that both patients and professionals would find useful. We want to try
to keep us all up to date with what might be useful and let you know about it.
Please feel free to let us know what you know or ask us to research something and
we’ll see what we can do!
Rehabilitation Thoughts:
The Head Injury team has been in existence since 1994 and over the years we have
built up an idea of just what someone who has experienced a head injury has to
contend with. We will try to share some of our thoughts and tips through the use of
the magazine.
One of the biggest weapons you have to deal with and cope with your injury is
fatigue management. On most tablets and smart phones is a calendar, and I’m old
school and still prefer a paper diary. Whatever your choice of calendar if you can
start recording your day to day activities then this will give both you and any
therapist working with you a grasp of just what you can cope with during a typical
day, when you fatigue, what type of fatigue you have and what may be the triggers.
We can look at the rest/sleep you get or don’t get and start to trial ways of trying to
get round these problems.
The problem after brain injury is remembering to do this, remembering what you
have done with your day, remembering where you put your calendar or tablet or
having enough energy and motivation to do it. We do understand that and know
how hard it can be but once you start to understand your head injury and how it is
for you then you can start to try to learn how you can start dictating to it rather
than it to you.
Even a little information is a start and maybe the start of a routine that makes
things a little easier day to day. I urge you to have a go and don’t be afraid to ask
for a little help if you need it. Set an alarm or reminder for you to try to set the
information down.
No matter how long ago your injury was why not see if you can start to be your own
expert on you!

only allows you to set reminders but
will also notify you of appointments or
events either by email or text message
to your mobile phone. Google calendar
can be linked to your mobile phone or
tablet so that you can use it on the go
and input new events anywhere. The
cog gym sees this as a very beneficial
and useful app and would recommend
fully to all.

Flow Free is a very addictive puzzle
game that is easy to use. The game
involves creating a link between
matching colours in order to form a
pipe. Each level is completed when
the entire board is covered in pipes
however the difficulty of the game is
that the pipes are not allowed to
cross or overlap as this will cause
them to break.
The game caters for everyone and
ranges from simple levels to levels
that are more challenging for those
willing to take them on. The game
offers the option of free play mode
letting you play as many levels as
you wish or time trial mode for
those who wish to race against the
clock.

APPLICATION DESCRIPTIONAPPLICATION DESCRIPTIONAPPLICATION DESCRIPTIONAPPLICATION DESCRIPTION
This is one of the most well-known and popular brain training apps. It was
started in 2005 and has around 35 million people using it. The free version has
about 10 tasks of which you are given 3 tasks to do per day. You cannot choose
the tasks and once you have completed the tasks you cannot play again that day.
Many of the tasks are based on neurophysiology tasks given in testing and
designed by various clinicians working in universities as well as Lumosity’s in-
house designers.
The tasks are well explained and have a nice simple layout. There is no
unnecessary visual information. The tasks tell you what benefit they may be for
you e.g. improve logical reasoning, increase arithmetic skills, avoid distractions
etc. You can check your progress and there is facility to set reminders to help you
remember to play. Although not specifically designed for brain injury recovery the
tasks all cover areas that cognitive rehabilitation would want to cover. “Lumosity”
is currently researching their programme effects on many health communities.
“Lumosity for adults with traumatic brain injury” and aims to see if the
programme does improve everyday functional skills, led by Dr Rik Lemoncello at
Pacific University. Most of the research looks to be American but the games
themselves do not have an American feel as some can.
We are using this programme a lot with patients (and staff) and the feedback is
very good. The games are challenging but easy enough to grasp the aim of in the
first place. The free version is only ten minutes long.
The app is available in all formats, apple, android and p.c. It works via mobiles as
well as tablets and different games are available on the free PC format.

Rehabilitation of Memory in Brain Injuries (ReMemBrin) trial
Being able to remember things is a key part of our daily lives, and difficulties with
memory can have a huge impact on quality of life. We are carrying out a research
study to find out whether taking part in a group to learn memory strategies is
helpful for people who have memory problems caused by head injury.
Memory is one of the most common thinking skills that can be affected by head
injury. There is no single brain area for memory so people may experience memory
problems in different ways, e.g. forgetting names, getting details easily mixed up or
having difficulties learning a new skill. These problems can impact on many areas of
everyday life.
Rehabilitation for memory problems involves finding the strategies that best suit
your individual needs. Strategies include practising exercises to improve attention
skills or learning to organise information in a particular way to help you remember
it. It can also involve learning to use memory aids such as diaries and reminders on
mobile phones. It is important to create a ‘personal toolbox’ of strategies which
work best for you.
For the Rehabilitation of Memory in Brain Injuries (ReMemBrin) trial, we have
developed a memory rehabilitation programme and we want to compare it to usual
clinical care to see which is more effective. We are looking for people who have had
a head injury and who now find they have problems with their memory. This study
needs 400 people who could help with this important research aimed at improving
memory. This information collected will be entirely confidential and only used for
research purposes.
If you would like more information, please contact Emma Sinclair at
[email protected] or call 0115 8467616.

We like this brain trainer app. The
screen is slightly “busier” than Lumosity
brain trainer and the tasks are more
complicated and require more time to
process what is actually required.
However, they are along the same lines
as Lumosity, looking at memory, logic,
vision and calculation. Many of the
tasks are suitable after brain injury as
therapeutic games. The main issue for
the free version is once you have trialed
the six games in each category they are
then locked. We have not trialed the
pay version but it is only £2.49/ £2.99
so looks like this would be cheaper
than Lumosity if you are wanting to pay
for brain trainer

Deans storyDeans storyDeans storyDeans story
My name is Dean Wileman, and I
suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury on the
8th June 2008. I was involved in a road
traffic accident where I was hit by a car,
when I was travelling on my motorbike.
I spent three months in hospital- 2
months of it in a rehab unit. After
leaving hospital I had approximately
eighteen months of outpatient rehab
through the NHS, as well as a lot of
private rehab. My days of going to work
are now gone, and I spend some of my
time, a few hours a week, volunteering
at the head injury team in Derby,
researching programmes on iPad/
iPhone that can help others with brain
injuries and advise any patients that
would benefit from it.

David’s StoryDavid’s StoryDavid’s StoryDavid’s Story
In October 2011 David was riding his
motorbike on the A453 when he
slipped on some oil and collide at
70mph with a lamppost. The events
that unfolded after the accident are
blurred from David’s mind, as a result
of the impact he suffered a cardiac
arrest and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
It has been two and a half years since
his accident and David is continuing a
tough and lengthy recovery process
involving learning to breath, eat, walk
and talk again. David was in hospital
for six months, suffered two cardiac
arrests, eighteen broken bones and a
severe brain injury which is taking a lot
of recovery time but he is alive and
breathing which is due to the rapid
response of the emergency team.
David lives in Derby Dales with his wife,
Sharon and their two daughters. He
added: “What happened was very
traumatic for me and my family, and
still is. There are a lot of things that I
can’t do that I used to take for granted,
like flying a kite with my girls. My
balance is not very good resulting in
me not being able to walk very far.
However next summer should be better
than this summer and progress is slow
but continuing.

The team has been doing a lot of work recently into the link between fatigue and
visual processing. We came across this app and are just starting to try it out with
our patients.
After brain injury the eyes often work but sometimes they don’t always work
together, they struggle to read words both on the page but also on screen. They
cannot always cope with fast paced movies and their eyes tire easily often causing
fatigue.
The aim of this little app is to get the eye muscles working more efficiently again.
It was not developed by an eye expert but by someone who had difficulties.
Medics have contributed to its development though. The author welcomes
feedback, so it might be we can actually do this.
The exercises do not take long although obviously the choice is limited on the
free version (lite) The exercises start slow and work up to quite a speed. This is
possible too fast for our client group but obviously you can stop the exercise if it
is too much. There are basic descriptions of the programmes available, the screen
for the exercises is kept simple and the instructions for completing them are
minimal, this is fine as they do not require anything more than is provided.
The only drawback we can see is that the exercises are in 2D and you may well
need to integrate this programme with some 3D work, for example catching and
throwing, watching moving cars, tracking a bird or butterfly etc.

David’s Blog
My name is David Marks. I had an accident in Oct, 2011 which resulted in traumatic
brain injury (TBI). Two years on I am still in recovery. Everything takes longer now
but things are defiantly better than two years ago. My wife and I wrote a book and
the following BLOG is an extract from the book.
1 The Accident
When my accident happened, East Midland ambulance services were first on the
scene. They arrived by helicopter and shortly afterwards were joined by road
ambulance. I was a real mess but the people who helped me took it all in their stride
with a kind of calmness. They had to make a critical decision very quickly. Use the
helicopter to take me to hospital, which takes about three minutes or the road
ambulance which takes about twenty minutes; the decision of road was chosen.
Good job really as I suffered cardiac arrest twice on the way to Nottingham
emergency room and there was not enough room to work on me in the helicopter.
I was in hospital in a coma for just short of a month and then moved from
Nottingham to Derby where I spent another month in the respiratory ward and then
a further four months in the rehabilitation ward, which is a total of six months in
hospital before continuing my rehabilitation as an outpatient.
For some reason I thought that when I left hospital everything would be the way it
was before and all the issues that I had would be fixed, only because there is one
way up from death and so you tend to progress quite quickly in the first six to
twelve months and then the progress becomes a little slower.
The five main problems I have are:
1) Balance and walking 2) Talking 3) Sensory loss and pins and needles all the time on my left side plus my right
hand
4) Double vision and weakness on my right side
5) Hearing impairment in my left ear
All of these things were caused by the accident and none of them have returned to
normal.
The above text just sets the scene however each BLOG will be a
different extract which should be somewhat amusing. Below is
the front and back cover of the book. The picture on the front
cover is the MRI scan of my skull!

3D Brain is an app that provides an
insight into the different elements that
make up the brain and a description of
each. Through looking at the app, the
team have decided that the app is more
suited to those that are a professional
or have an interest in that field.
The app uses bright colour so is visually
appealing and each section of the brain
clearly shown. Another feature of the
app is that it allows the user to look at
the brain from a 3D perspective making
it appear more real and easier to make
sense of.
