Today's technology: augments clinical assessments using time-honored rating scales of severity of neurological signs in a person who has suffered brain damage for any reason. The results of initial assessments are important for treatment decisions & have predictive value. Repeated assessments show degree of progress over time. Knowing all these factors tells you the chances of an individual's recovery.
