Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI, is “ an insult to the brain caused by an external force that results in an altered state of consciousness and one or more impairments of brain functioning. Effects may be temporary or permanent.” (CDC) Use these questions to help a person recall injuries that may have involved an impact to the head or neck. Results—Screening using the Brain Injury Screening Questionnaire finds that 27% to 54% of those in high-risk populations report a history of TBI with chronic symptoms.

The BIST was developed to be a brief tool for use on initial presentation after injury to guide health care pathway decision making and to monitor symptoms and recovery over time.

A HELPS screening is considered positive for a possible TBI when the following 3 items are identified: 1.) An event that could have caused a brain injury (yes to H, E. or. S), and. 2.) A period of loss of consciousness or altered consciousness after the injury or another indication that the injury was severe (yes to L or E), and 3.). The Rancho Los Amigos Scale is an easy way to describe a brain-injured person's level of activity. It is a scale used to tracks individuals through traumatic brain injury recovery and emergence from coma, based on cognitive and behavioural presentations as they emerge from coma.
