NOTE: hallmark of Rancho 4
agitation
time lapse between accident and point at whcih functions concerned with memory are resported
post traumatic amnesia
retrograde amnesia
can’t remember accident
anterograde amnesia
can’t have ongoing memory after
to determine length and severity of PTA
galveston orientation and amnesia test (GOAT)
measurers orientation to time, place and circumstances
O-LOG orientation log
duration of PTA and severity of TBI
<5 min = very mild
5-60 min = mild
1-24 hours = moderate
1-7 days = severe
1-4 weeks = very severe
>4 weeks = extremely severe
test and measures for MOD ABI and TBI Rancho IV
activity domain (funcitonal assessment / movement analysis) and participation domain (prior life roles?)

what are some outcome measures for body function and strucutres for a rancho level IV ?
-rancho levels
O-log
agitated behavior scale (ABS)
MOSS attention scale
other impairment measures
what outcome measures rancho IV activity
FIM
FAM
what are general goals for patients with moderate ABI and TBI rancho IV?
** participate in activity**
- decrease confusion by increasing orientatin to self and environment
- manage agitation
**increase attention **to task and activity tolerance, envrionment
- functional mobility
- reduce risk of secondary impairments
- pt/family education
