It has become the most widely known and widely used scale in the assessment of level of consciousness (Foundation, 2000; Hall, 1997; Wade, 1992) . Age-specific norms for the Mini-Mental State Exam. Witol, A. D., Kreutzer, J. S., & Sander, A. M. (1999). An individual’s performance on individual items or within a single domain may be more useful than interpretation of a single score (Tombaugh & McIntyre, 1992; Wade, 1992). The authors do not recommend the MPAI-4 for use in the assessment of individuals with very severe ABI (Malec et al., 2003).The authors reported that the placement of items in the 3 scale indices is based on a rational process in keeping with clinical observation and the results of ongoing analyses  (Malec et al., 2003).

Measuring and monitoring general health status in elderly persons: practical and methodological issues in using the SF-36 Health Survey. While the CIQ was developed to assess handicap (as defined by WHO under the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps), the CIQ does not appear to assess all of the domains included in the definition (Dijkers, 1997). McCullagh, S., Oucherlony, D., Protzner, A., Blair, N., & Feinstein, A. Some items measure the frequency with which activities are performed, while others measure the assistance or supervision required in order to perform an activity (Dijkers, 1997; Zhang et al., 2002).

Corrigan, J. D., Smith-Knapp, K., & Granger, C. V. (1997). While many measures are used in the TBI population to assess depression and anxiety post injury, unfortunately none of these measures have been evaluated for use with this population (Schonberger & Ponsford, 2010; Whelan-Goodinson et al., 2009). Acta Psychiatr Scand, 96(4), 281-286. Items in the expanded psychosocial/cognitive subscale seem to include more abstract concepts requiring raters to make more subjective assessments than was necessary for the more objective and observable behavioural items included on the original FIM (Hall et al., 1993; McPherson et al., 1996). Oral questions are posed directly to the patient who may respond either orally or in writing (Jain et al., 2000; Levin et al., 1979). Rosati, D. L. (2002).

Personality and Individual Differences, 26(5), 815-826. Permission to use the instrument should be obtained from the Medical Outcomes Trust who oversee the standardized administration of the SF-36 and will provide updates on administration and scoring (McDowell & Newell, 1996). The reliability of the FIM is dependent upon the individual conducting the assessment. Quality of Life Research, 5(2), 195-204. Typically, these are grouped into seven cognitive domains including orientation to time, orientation to place, registration of three words, attention and calculation, recall of three words, language, and visual construction. Prior to completing the scale patients are asked to “fill it completely in order to reflect how they have been feeling during the past week” ((Zigmond & Snaith, 1983); p. 366).

Journal of Neurotrauma, 17(6-7), 479-491. It is necessary to have a set of criteria to guide the selection of outcomes measures. Subscale scores for the physical and cognitive domains may also be used and may yield more useful information than combining them into a single FIM score (Linacre et al., 1994). McCauley, S. R., Hannay, H. J., & Swank, P. R. (2001). In addition, the CIQ social integration subscale does not relate to other measures of social integration in the expected way. Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 82(9), 1204-1212. Balestreri, M., Czosnyka, M., Chatfield, D. A., Steiner, L. A., Schmidt, E. A., Smielewski, P., Matta, B., & Pickard, J. D. (2004). The DRS appears to be more reliable and valid than the Level of Cognitive Functioning Scale (LCFS) and may be more sensitive to change than categorical rankings such as the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) (Hall et al., 1985). The Apache II scoring system in neurosurgical patients: a comparison with simple Glasgow coma scoring. • This checklist, the CCCABI identifies communication difficulties to be addressed by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) It has been suggested that inability to assess using the GCS may reflect the increased and more aggressive use of intubation, ventilation and sedation (Balestreri et al., 2004; Teasdale & Murray, 2000).

Refining a measure of brain injury sequelae to predict postacute rehabilitation outcome: rating scale analysis of the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory. A., & Grace, J. Subjects where subjects were chosen at various times across a multitude of settings (convenience sampling), and therefore the sample was scale orientated, not patient focused (Truelle et al., 2010). Validating the SF-36 health survey questionnaire: new outcome measure for primary care. Hawley, C. A., Taylor, R., Hellawell, D. J., & Pentland, B. (2000).

(1997). The aim of the Acquired Brian Injury information kit is to provide as much information as possible to people with ABI and their families. Specifically designed for the evaluation of individuals during the post-acute period following ABI, the scale was developed to provide a representation of the sequelae of ABI through the use of key indicators of abilities, activities and social participation (Malec, 2004b). Validity, differences between subgroups of patients, and relationships to somatic and mental variables. It has been suggested that its low level of sensitivity derives from the emphasis placed on language items and a paucity of visual-spatial items (de Koning et al., 2000; de Koning et al., 1998; Grace et al., 1995; Suhr & Grace, 1999; Tombaugh & McIntyre, 1992). Social Indicators Research, 54(1), 37-56. The DRS was designed to reflect changes in the following areas: arousal and awareness, cognitive ability to deal with problems around self-care, degree of physical dependence, and psychosocial adaptability as reflected in the ability to do useful work (Rappaport et al., 1982). The FSS scale is a self-report scale that is easy to administer and can be completed quickly with minimal effort (Burger et al., 2010; LaChapelle & Finlayson, 1998). Revisiting the Glasgow Coma Scale and Coma Score. (1996). A score of 2, for example, is defined differently and has a different associated level of difficulty from item to item (Kornetti et al., 2004). The CIQ social integration subscale appears inconsistently related to the CHART social interaction subscale (Willer et al., 1993; Zhang et al., 2002) and only weakly related to the FIM social interaction item (Sander et al., 1999).

This initial assessment is used to determine what sort of support an individual needs. Riddle, D. L., & Stratford, P. W. (1999). The level of test re-test reliability reported in stroke populations indicate that the SF-36 may not be adequate for serial comparisons of individual patients, but rather should be used for large group comparisons only (Dorman et al., 1998). Our skilled and highly trained support teams use a range of ABI tools including: BIIES – Brain Injury Independence and Emotional Scale, which measures independent living skills and emotional disposition. Agreement between physicians on assessment of outcome following severe head injury. Therefore, caution is advised when making generalizations to an ABI population. Brain Injury, 12(7), 555-567.

Assessment and prognosis of coma after head injury. Westaway et al. It is administered via direct observation of task completion and items are scored 0-4 based on the ability of the individual to meet the specific time and distance requirements of the test (Berg et al., 1995; Juneja et al., 1998). Williams, L. S., Weinberger, M., Harris, L. E., & Biller, J. Diener, E., Emmons, R. A., Larsen, R. J., & Griffin, S. (1985). Inter-rater reliability of scales and tests used to measure mild cognitive impairment by general practitioners and psychologists. (1999), as cited in Teasdale and Murray (2000)) reported that in a study of head injury patients in European centres, total assessment was possible in 61% of patients before hospital, in 77% on arrival at hospital and in 56% of patients arriving at a neurosurgical unit. Segal, M. E., Gillard, M., & Schall, R. (1996). A neuropsychological assessment is extremely useful in providing details to aid in prognosis and treatment when someone has sustained an injury either through a car accident or otherwise. A French translation of the rating form is also available from the website. (1998a). Factor analyses were used to identify three factors including life satisfaction, negative affect and positive affect. A., Rabadi, M. H., Blau, A. D., & Jordan, B. D. (2001). However, it has also been demonstrated that consistent ratings among inexperienced raters may also be inaccurate. (1999)Sander et al. Cavanagh, S. J., Hogan, K., Gordon, V., & Fairfax, J. Burger, H., Franchignoni, F., Puzic, N., & Giordano, A. Oppenheim, J. S., & Camins, M. B.
