Traumatic Brain Injuries

Neuropsychological assessment is a specialized assessment that examines the brain-behavioral relationship in humans. It is supported by the use of standard methods for the evaluation of higher cognitive functions, as well as the basic aesthetic and motor abilities of the individual. Neuropsychological assessment is designed to provide more detailed and analytical information about cognitive abilities than neurological assessment. The most beneficial factor of a neuropsychological evaluation is that it provides an accurate diagnosis of the patients disorder when the exact condition or disorder is not clear to the other therapists. This allows the introduction of a more expensive treatment, as it is based on the accredited symptoms of the disorder. This also gives a greater chance of predicting the patients response to the treatment protocol applied.
