Abstract

Glasgow Outcome Scale

Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Single Photon Emission Compute Tomography

Traumatic Brain Injury

Vegetative State

The logistics of neurorehabilitation of this group of patients differ based on their unique clinical status. Disorders of consciousness (DOC) after severe acquired brain injury (ABI) include coma, vegetative state (VS), and minimally conscious state (MCS). Coma is primarily assessed via the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) [1] in the acute phase, whereas the Disability Rating Scale (DRS) [2], Levels of Cognitive Function (LCF) [3], Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), and Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E) [4, 5] are the most commonly used scales in the post-acute phase.
