With the term “severe acquired brain injury” (ABI) we mean a damage, of traumatic or other nature (hypoxic, infective, vascular) origin, capable of inducing a coma state (Glasgow Coma Scale GCS=<8), or moto-sensory impairement, and/or cognitivecomportamental impairement, which involve serious disability [2].
