Abstract

This case study aims to present the process of neuropsychological rehabilitation of a patient during the acute post-trauma period, and incisive results, through the complementary (complementary) intervention of photobiomodulatory laser therapy in muscle areas of the craniofacial and photo-parenteral region by ILIB (Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood). These procedures contributed in a short period of time to the neuropsychological rehabilitation of this patient who had suffered severe cranioencephalic trauma and evolved with cognitive and behavioral alterations that had a significant impact on their autonomy.

Highlights

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation can be defined [1] as an active process of education and training, focused on the appropriate management of acquired cognitive alterations
Neuropsychological rehabilitation [2] has as one of the main functions, the total adaptation of the cognitive, communicative and behavioral functioning of patients with functional alterations following neurological damage, which we will exemplify in this study, regarding post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) (Traumatic brain injury)
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) guides the degree of change that will determine the functional prognosis after ECT [6] and is obtained by observing three parameters: ocular opening, verbal response and motor response [7], being classified in the first six hours after the trauma in mild (GCS 14-15), moderate (GCS 9-13) and severe (GCS 3-8), through the author [6]

Summary

Introduction

Neuropsychological Rehabilitation can be defined [1] as an active process of education and training, focused on the appropriate management of acquired cognitive alterations. This way aims at obtaining the best physical, mental and social potential of the individual, so that he can reintegrate to the old one or adapt to the new social environment. Neuropsychological rehabilitation [2] has as one of the main functions, the total adaptation of the cognitive, communicative and behavioral functioning of patients with functional alterations following neurological damage, which we will exemplify in this study, regarding post-TBI (Traumatic brain injury). © Copyright iMedPub | This article is available from: http://medical-case-reports.imedpub.com/
