Research Progress of Rehabilitation Assessment Methods for Cognitive Dysfunction
Cognitive dysfunction is one of the common complications of many chronic diseases,such as stroke,dementia,cerebral palsy,diabetes mellitus and so on,and its rising incidence has brought about serious social problems,and early identification and inter-vention are crucial for rehabilitation.This paper focuses on the assessment of cognitive dysfunction from three aspects:neuropsychol-ogy,neuroimaging,and neuroelectrophysiology,and finds that neuropsychological assessment is based on scales,such as the Gesell Scale for assessing children's intellectual development;the Brief Mental State Examination(MMSE)is widely used,but is insensitive to mild cognitive impairment;the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)has high specificity and is widely used;and the assessment of daily living Ability assessments include basic and instrumental living skills.Neuroimaging assessments include structural magnetic resonance imaging(sMRI),magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging(DTI),and functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS),which provide information on brain structure and function and assist in the diagnosis and differentiation of cognitive impairment.Neu-roelectrophysiological assessment reflects cortical activity and assesses changes in brain function through quantitative electroencepha-lography(QEEG)and event-related potentials(ERP),and provides a more intuitive picture of the state of brain function and the extent of brain cell damage than the first two.Despite the limitations of each method,the development of digital technology has brought new possibilities for cognitive impairment assessment,which is expected to improve the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis and treatment,and to promote the integration of digital diagnosis and treatment for brain health.
