Too many variables: There are so many variables, from mild to moderate to severe brain injury, time in post traumatic amnesia, structural damage, etc. It is difficult to say even when we have the whole clinical picture, much less without a specific patient in mind. This is still such a developing area of medicine, its just way to hard to say with any certainty. Sorry i can not be more specific, but i hope that helps!
