Methods and tools for the assessment of outcome after brain injury rehabilitation

Many different factors influence outcome. Aside from the techniques and methods used during acute and post-acute rehabilitation, a patient’s outcome is determined by such variables as the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score on hospital admission, length of coma (LOC), duration of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA), family support, and socio-economic level. The results of a rehabilitation program are also influenced by these same variables.
