After a brain injury, many people experience fatigue like they've never experienced fatigue before. Tasks that used to be easy now take a lot of work. This level of fatigue is hard to explain to friends and family. Christine Miserandino developed The Spoon Theory to help friends and family members understand what it's like to live with chronic fatigue. The spoon theory can also help people make choices about how they spend their energy throughout the day. Use this 4-page interactive worksheet to help your patients visualize how they spend their energy each day.
