Vision Assessment and Intervention
Mild traumatic brain injury rehabilitation toolkit
2014
Abstract
Vision is the most far-reaching of our sensory systems. Changes to this system can affect patients’ ability to participate in therapy as well as to function in everyday life. Combat troops with blast-related concussion/mild traumatic brain injury (c/mTBI) are at risk for visual dysfunction. Occupational therapists are often the first-line clinicians who can identify visual impairment. The occupational therapist’s roles include the following:
• evaluating vision function through vision screening and functional observations
• determining if and how visual impairment may be affecting the patient’s functional performance
