-persistant vegitative state
-minimally consious state
-locked in syndrome

44
Q

Persistant vegitative state

A

45
Q

Minimally consious state (MSC)

A

-follow simple commanda, manipulate objects, give Y/n responses

46
Q

Locked in syndrome

A

-complete paralysis of voluntary muscles except eye movement
-content of thought and level of arousal are intact/fully consous
-blinking as communication

47
Q

awareness is

A

-all cognitive function
