Disability Rating Scale : ウィキペディア英語版 | Disability Rating Scale The Disability Rating Scale (DRS) was developed as a way to track a traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient from ‘Coma to Community’. The scale was used to rate the effects of injury and decide how long recovery might take. The rating gives insight into the cognitive impairment of the individual who suffered from the TBI.〔Rappaport, et al. (1982) 119〕 The idea of the DRS is similar to the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). However, the point of the scale is to track the patient’s progress over time〔Nichol, et al. (2011), 283〕 while the GOS is used to simply determine the extent of a brain injury.〔Nichol, et al (2011), 282)〕 In many ways, the DRS addresses many of the shortcomings of the GOS.〔Shulka, Devi, & Agrawal (2010), 438〕 Training is not required to be able to administer the DRS. However, there is an optional video and powerpoint presentation. The test itself takes anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes to administer. It can be self-administered or done through an interview.〔 ==History== M. Rappaport introduced the DRS in 1982 to overcome the poor precision of the Glasgow Outcome Scale.〔Rappaport, et al. (1982), 119〕 It was initially developed to assess individuals with TBI in the rehabilitation phase of recovery.〔 Upon development it was tested with older juvenile and adult individuals who had suffered from severe TBI. All tests were performed in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. The intent of the scale was to measure the general functional changes of the patient throughout the course of recovery.〔Wright (2000)〕
