Abstract
An overview of outcome measurements for use in cognitive behavioural units is presented. Various measures have been used in published studies evaluating outcome of these units, but with little consistency. This compares unfavourably with outcome measurement in inpatient neurophysical rehabilitation. Theoretical problems related to outcome measurement in this setting are discussed, in particular the changes in behaviour which may occur at times of admission and discharge, and the difficulty rating measures of handicap in this setting. Key measures for different areas of function are reviewed. These include: global measures of outcome; behavioural measures including agitation and aggression; measures of psychosocial outcome; residential status and independence.
