brain injury assessment

Brain injury assessment involves evaluating a person's cognitive, physical, and emotional functions after a head injury. Medical professionals use tools like the Glasgow Coma Scale to measure consciousness levels, and imaging tests such as CT or MRI scans to identify structural damage. They may also assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills through various cognitive tests. The goal is to determine the severity of the injury, any potential long-term effects, and to guide treatment and rehabilitation strategies. Timely and accurate assessment is crucial for optimal recovery and support.
