The Assessment of Amnesia Following Mild TBI
I recently found a website which I think will be very helpful to the readers of my blog. The site is an online presentation established by the Department of Psychology at Macquarie University in Australia which is designed to assist people who have suffered from a mild Traumatic Brain Injury through the administration of the Abbreviated-Westmead Post-Traumatic Amnesia Scale. The scale was developed in order to assist in the early identification of cognitive impairment following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
The site states that early identification of patients with cognitive problems after a traumatic brain injury is imperative in the management of the injury. The most common symptom associated with mild traumatic brain injury is memory loss or amnesia.
