| Abstract | Neuropsychology plays a crucial role in rehabilitation medicine. It thoroughly assesses patients' cognitive functions and behavioral issues, revealing the characteristics of pathologies or impairments. This enables the rehabilitation team to accurately understand patients' needs and devise appropriate plans. Specifically, the test results allow for individualized training and interventions tailored to each patient. Neuropsychological examinations also prove valuable in evaluating and determining the effectiveness of training, tracking patients' changes, and adjusting plans accordingly. In terms of providing information and support to patients and their families, neuropsychology serves to offer concrete details through test results, alleviating anxiety and dispelling misunderstandings. Furthermore, the progress in research and knowledge contributes to the advancement of rehabilitation strategies and intervention methods. |
