The rehabilitation of persons with brain injury is complex, often requiring comprehensive services from several rehabilitation professionals to ensure that multiple problematic areas are addressed. This article introduces and describes Cognitive Perceptual Motor (CPM) retraining, an approach to the treatment of brain injury utilized by occupational therapists at Origami Brain Injury Rehabilitation Center and at the Michigan State University Rehabilitation Medicine Clinic. Developed by Madhav Kulkarni, Ph.D., O.T.R., CPM has been utilized for the remediation of deficits in sensory-motor, perceptual-motor, and cognitive functioning immediately following the acquisition of mild to severe brain injury. This approach has also been extremely successful for individuals several years post injury or those who have been discharged from traditional forms of rehabilitation.
