Early Identification of Brain Injury Critical
Early identification of patients who have suffered mild traumatic brain injury is imperative to determine appropriate treatment and ensure a maximum recovery. Although there is some disagreement among medical professional as to what constitutes mild traumatic brain injury, all medical professionals agree that amnesia is evidence of a brain injury.
Online Tool Helps Explain
I want to thank my fellow blogger, Bruce Stern at the Traumatic Brain Injury Law Blog, for pointing me to a website created by the Department of Psychology at MacQuarie University in Australia. The website was created to help patients who have suffered a mild traumatic brain injury and has an online presentation of the abbreviated Westmead Post-Traumatic Amnesia Scale. The A-WPTAS is a method of measuring the duration of post traumatic amnesia.
You can watch the presentation here.
