Injury Associa- how much sensation a person feels after light touch and a pin prick at multiple
tion (ASIA) im- points on the body and tests key motions on both sides of the body
pairment scale
9. Rachos Los Ami- renowned clinical tool used to rate how people with brain injury are recovering.
gos Scale of Cog- The ten levels of recovery noted in the scale also help to decide when a patient is
nitive Function- ready for rehabilitation. As patients "wake up" after a head injury, they go through
ing ditterent levels of recovery on the Rancho Scale. Each level describes a general
pattern of recovery, with a focus on cognition and behavior.

Scale (GCS) &
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is scored between 3 and 15, with 3 being the worst
Children's Coma
and 15 the best. It is composed of 3 parameters: best eye response (E), best verbal
Scale
response (V), and best motor response (M). The components of the GCS should
be recorded individually; for example, E2V3M4 results in a GCS of 9. A score of
13 or higher correlates with mild brain injury, a score of 9 to 12 correlates with
2/7
