Physical and Cognitive Assessment Tools
Physical and cognitive assessment tools are methods healthcare professionals use to evaluate a person's health and mental functions. Physical tools assess body functions such as strength, mobility, and vital signs, helping detect issues like injuries or illnesses. Cognitive tools measure mental abilities like memory, attention, and problem-solving, identifying conditions such as dementia or brain injuries. These assessments often involve standardized tests, questionnaires, or observations, providing valuable information to guide diagnosis, treatment, and care planning. They ensure a comprehensive understanding of an individual's health status, supporting targeted interventions for better outcomes.
