Rancho Los Amigos Scale

The Rancho Los Amigos Scale is a tool used by medical professionals to assess the recovery of patients with brain injuries. It categorizes patients into 10 levels, from Level I (no response) to Level X (purposeful, appropriate response). Each level describes the patient’s awareness, responsiveness, and ability to interact with their environment. Healthcare providers track progress through these levels to tailor rehabilitation plans and communicate improvements in a patient's cognitive and physical abilities. The scale helps families understand the patient's condition and recovery journey.
