Clinical use of QEEG (functional brain mapping) in rehabilitation
One of the primary considerations for treatment program in rehabilitation services is accurate and quantitative prognostic
assessment which has vital importance and significant influence the disability prevention strategies along all the treatment
stages. Primary assessments in rehabilitation are quite time consuming and gradual; it requires clients to undergo a variety
of evaluation phases for finding impairments, limitation and restriction, with external and internal factors to be recognizing
the barriers and facilitator. According to ICF checklist for body function categories in 2004, one of the important parts of
assessment is the mental function, which is considered as a crucial part in most neurological disorders, such as TBI, CP, Closed
head injury; specially when will be associate with language deficit or in the kids. QEEG as an interpretative analysis of EEG,
based on a global culture/language free normative database can compare client brain activity with a normal person at the
same age and gender in a simple, fast, measurable and accountable method. It has similar terminology among the involved
professional teams such as neurologist and neuro-psychiatrists can have an important contribution towards the advantages
communications within teams. In this paper the use of QEEG in rehabilitation services is to be explained as a brain function
evaluation tool built on my 6 years’ experience. This tool grants the acute evaluation and monitoring brain function changes
during treatment session, as a pre-posttest, aimed at more effective design of brain function based treatment approach.
