A Compendium of Tests, Scales and Questionnaires: The Practitioners Guide to Measuring Outcomes after Acquired Brain Impairment
Product Description
This Compendium is a comprehensive reference manual containing an extensive selection of instruments developed to measure signs and symptoms commonly encountered in neurological conditions, both progressive and non-progressive. It provides a repository of customary instruments, as well as newly-developed scales, and covers all aspects of the functional consequences of bought brain impairment.
In particular, the text provides a detailed review of approximately 150 specialist instruments for the assessment of people with neurological conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, stroke and traumatic brain injury. Part A presents scales examining body functions, including consciousness and orientation; general and specific cognitive functions; regulation of behaviour, plotting, and emotion; and motor-sensory functions. Part B reviews scales of daily living activities and community partaking. Part C focuses on contextual factors, specifically environmental issues, and Part D contains multidimensional and quality of life instruments.
Each instrument is described in a stand-lonely report using a uniform format. A brief history of the instrument’s development is provided, by the side of with a description of item content and administration/scoring procedures. Psychometric properties are reviewed and a critical commentary is provided. Key references are cited and in most cases the actual scale is included, giving the reader simple access to the instrument.

The Compendium will be a valuable reference for clinicians, researchers, educators, and graduate students, and a matter-of-fact resource for those caught up in the assessment of people with brain impairment.
