Neuropsychological assessment is a key component in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to assessment of sport-related concussion (SRC). Currently computerized tests are the most commonly used modality of neurocognitive testing and involve both baseline and postinjury assessments. A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment should not only include neurocognitive testing but also incorporate symptom inventories, vestibular-ocular screening, and a psychological evaluation. Neuropsychological assessments are most effective when completed by a Clinical Neuropsychologist, given their specialized training in test interpretation and conceptualization of the psychological, cognitive, behavioral, physiologic, as well as neurologic principals when treating and managing SRC.
神经心理学评估是对运动相关脑震荡(SRC)进行全面、多学科评估的关键组成部分。目前,计算机化测试是神经认知测试最常用的方式,包括基线评估和伤后评估。全面的神经心理学评估不仅应包括神经认知测试,还应纳入症状清单、前庭眼筛查和心理评估。由临床神经心理学家完成神经心理学评估时最为有效,因为他们在测试解释以及治疗和管理SRC时对心理、认知、行为、生理和神经学原理的概念化方面接受过专业培训。
