Topic of the Month
September 2006 - Minimally Conscious State
Much progress has been made in distinguishing between the various disorders of consciousness and in (re)defining terminology. 'The term minimally conscious is defined as "a condition of severely altered consciousness in which minimal but definite behavioral evidence of self or environmental awareness is demonstrated."' Based on the few studies concerning the population, recovery potential following MCS varies from quite favorable outcomes to severe disablement.
