Disability Rating Scale

The Disability Rating Scale (DRS) is a tool used by healthcare professionals to measure the severity of a person's brain injury and track their recovery over time. It assesses different aspects such as awareness, responsiveness, independence, and daily functioning. Each area is scored, and the total score indicates the level of disability, ranging from no disability to severe impairment. This scale helps doctors and therapists understand a person's progress and plan appropriate treatments, ensuring a structured approach to rehabilitation.
