Objective
[edit | edit source]

The Coma Recovery Scale [CRS-R] , also known as the JFK Coma Recovery Scale - Revised, is used to assess patients with a disorder of consciousness, commonly coma[1].

It may be used to differentiate between vegetative state (VS) and minimally conscious state (MCS)[2]. It can also be used to monitor emergence from minimally conscious state (EMCS or MCS+)[2].

Intended Population
[edit | edit source]

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Brain Tumour

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

The CRS consists of 23 items, grouped into 6 subscales:

  1. Auditory
  2. Visual
  3. Motor
  4. Oromotor
  5. Communication
  6. Arousal

The lowest score on each subscale represents reflexive activity, and the highest respresents behaviours mediated by cognitive input.
