NeuroPage: The Rehabilitation of Memory Dysfunction by Prosthetic Memory and Cueing.

Various compensatory devices typically employed in the rehabilitation of memory and attention dysfunction are reviewed. The authors then describe and evaluate a novel compensatory device, NeuroPage, which appears to operate as a prosthetic, rather than simply a compensatory device. Clinical implementation in terms of training, applications, contraindications, and cost-effectiveness is discussed.
