The measurements in questionnaires relate to: - Global outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended) - Symptoms of concussion (SCAT-5 symptom scale) - Participation (USER-Participation) - Anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) - Sleep Quality (Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index) - Quality of Life, partner relation, system support (custom questionnaire) Multidisciplinary assessment consists of: - Neurocognitive functioning (Emma Toolbox for Neurocognitive Functioning) - Eye-tracking (Sensomotoric Instruments RED 250) - Postural Control and Balance (Motek Dynstable) - Vestibular and Ocular functioning (Vestibular/OculoMotor Screening) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secundary parameters relate to: - Qualitative change in functioning of patients (questionnaires and in-depth interview) - Identification of treatment aspects important for patient experience (in-depth interview) - Etiology of potential change in recovery effects (re-analysis of existing clinical brain scans that will be requested at CFX) The in-depth interview will cover the following apsects - Perceived importance of personal characteristics (e.g., motivation, willpower, hope) - Role of contextual characteristics (e.g., commitment of health professionals, being away from home, social contacts with peers during treatment) - Planned follow-up trajectory after treatment (e.g. interventions or guidance) | — |
