Assessment of Clinical and Neurological Changes in Patients Using Clinical Scales

Abstract

The increasing frequency of traumatic brain injury is becoming increasingly important for its medical and social consequences (Lebedev V.V., 2000; Karimov R.H. 2007; Vitaz T., 2003). It is known that severe in surviving patients is accompanied by pronounced and irreversible neurological changes. As for the consequences of mild and moderate TBI, although they are not so destructive, they are much more common and collectively cause much greater socio-economic damage than the consequences of severe TBI (Kachkov I.A., Filimonov B.A., 1997). Suffice it to say that mild trauma occupies the first place in the structure of TBI and occurs in 60-90% of cases (Filatova M.M., 2003; Stalnacke V., 2007; Cohen V., 2007). All this determines the relevance of the study of neuropsychiatric disorders developing after TBI, with the aim of speedy and complete medical, social, labor, and psychological rehabilitation of patients.
