QUALITY TOOL BOX
Overview
QTBs are a resource for Academy members
that include existing tools which may be
useful in physiatric practice. Tools included
in the mild Traumatic Brain Injury QTB
were identified by subject matter experts
who treat patients with this condition,
and the Academy’s Performance Metrics
Committee has evaluated the tools for their
methodological quality.

Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines
• Guidelines for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Persistent Symptoms
developed by the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation

QTB
Assessment Instruments
Symptoms
• Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI) — A questionnaire that can
be administered to someone who sustains a concussion or other form of
traumatic brain injury to measure the presence and severity of symptoms.
The NBSI takes approximately 10 minutes to administer.
Core Constructs
• The Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire —
Questionnaire to measure severity of symptoms.
Core Constructs were identified
to help guide the selection
of Assessment Instruments.
Core Constructs are based on
the International Classification
of Functioning, Disability
and Health (ICF) framework.
More information on the ICF
Framework can be found here.
HISTORY
The Core Constructs for this
QTB related to mTBI are:
• Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) — A 25-item self-assessment inventory
•Symptoms
•Cognitive status
•Behavioral health
•Life Satisfaction
•Participation/Social roles
• Screening for TBI Exposure— Ohio State University TBI Screening Form—
Assesses the patient’s prior history of TBI. It takes approximately 5–35
minutes to administer depending on the patient’s medical history.
HEADACHE
• The Migraine Disability Assessment Test (MIDAS) — Measure of migraine
disability (only if needed from NSI/Rivermead).
PHYSICAL
designed to evaluate the self-perceived handicapping effects imposed by
dizziness.
• Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) — A measure of assessing static
postural stability (only if needed from NSI/Rivermead).
SLEEP
• Insomnia Severity Index — 7-item questionnaire that asks respondents
to rate the nature and symptoms of their sleep problems using Likert-type
scales.
• Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire — A 19-item scale developed
to assess differences in the degree to which respondents are active and alert
at certain times of the day.
• Fatigue Visual Analog Scale — An 18-item scale that assesses subject
experience of fatigue.
• Epworth Sleepiness Scale — Evaluates overall daytime sleepiness based on
how likely they are to fall asleep in eight different situations (only if needed
from NSI/Rivermead)
Cognitive Status
• Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) — Rapid screen of cognitive
abilities designed to detect mild cognitive dysfunction.
• Moss attention rating scale — The MARS is an observational tool used
to measure attention-related behaviors after TBI.

Assessment Instruments
Behavioral Health
• Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) — Assesses the presence and
intensity of depressive symptoms
• CAGE Questionnaire — A 4-item questionnaire for screening for
alcohol abuse
• Primary Care – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Screen (PC-PTSD) —
A 4-item screen used to screen for PTSD
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) — A self-reported questionnaire
for screening and severity measuring of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
Participation/Social Roles
• Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) — Used to assess the social
role limitations and community interaction of people with acquired brain
injury
• Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E) — Used to classify global
outcome in TBI survivors.
Life Satisfaction
• Quality of Life After Brain Injury (QOLIBRI) — 37 items questionnaire
covering six dimensions of health related quality of life.
