Content: The professional occupational therapists who work with brain-injured patients must be proficient in assessing how the physical, cognitive, and the behavioral impairments primarily affect the different activities of daily living. A productive activity analysis of every task is performed and is often used to guide the entire course of rehabilitation. EVALUATION AND TREATMENT
The evaluation of neurological disorder or injury is initiated by a thorough clinical interview, which should include open-ended questioning regarding several social, medical, vocational history, physical and social environment, as well as family and self-assessment of the individual’s current level of functioning in various aspects. The results will thoroughly provide the therapist with a clear picture of the person’s former functioning, current insight, and the awareness of limitations. It is extremely crucial to note the individual’s level of insight. If it is impaired, safety may indeed be of significant concern. In order to assess the level of the insight completely, the therapist will compare the individual’s self-assessment of functioning with the therapist’s observation, family report, and objective findings. Following this particular interview, the standardized assessments are being utilized, in order to quantify all the found out deficits objectively. These include the tests of motor, perceptual, attention, and the executive functions as well. The interpretation of both the interview and the formal test results in facilitating the generation of a problem list.
