Physiotherapists Assess Cognitive Function to Help Concussion Patients and Athletes Reach Their Goals

Cognition is a key part of patient health. Physiotherapists treat disorders that have a direct effect on the brain, such as concussions and strokes, but any injury or source of pain can have profound effects on brain health. That is why physiotherapists use Creyos Health to measure the areas of cognition that affect quality of life.

Therapists working with brain injuries know that validated cognitive assessments are an important part of an evidence-based approach to rehabilitation. However, any serious injury or disability has cognitive consequences—pain, stress, time off work, and lack of physical activity can all have profound effects on the brain, so it is crucial to track brain health during assessment, recovery, and follow up.

Sport physiotherapists have reason to measure cognition as well. Helping patients live up to their full potential is not purely physical—athletic performance involves the brain as much as the body. With Creyos Health, clients will know the precise areas where they are strongest, and where work is needed. Whether recovering from an injury or optimizing performance in healthy clients, measuring cognition can demonstrate that your work is having a real effect on a client’s ability to make fast, accurate decisions.

Creyos Health is a web-based platform that uses cognitive tasks and mental health assessments to quantify a patient’s brain health, identify deficits associated with injury, pain disease, or age, and track recovery as treatment progresses, whether you are treating patients in person or via a telehealth program. Physiotherapists use Creyos to help patients of all ages reach their physical and cognitive goals.

Measure Subjective Symptoms Alongside Objective Measures of Cognition

Patients often report brain-related symptoms associated with physical injuries or disabilities, such as difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, or brain fog—and these reports are valuable sources of information in a physiotherapist’s toolkit. Creyos Health provides objective, continuous measures of cognitive performance that can be used to objectively verify these symptoms, or ease patients’ worries by verifying they are within a normal range. As treatment progresses, patients can see objective evidence of improvement in the areas where they have struggled, and be reassured that as physical health improves, so does brain health.

Creyos Health also includes formal self-report assessments and other questionnaires right within the platform. For example, use the PHQ-9 to measure depressive symptoms, the GAD-7 to assess symptoms of anxiety, or the ASRS to measure attentional difficulties. Include any combination of measures within the same seamless patient protocol, then view a comprehensive report with mental health and cognitive performance measures side by side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Creyos Health diagnose a brain injury?

Creyos Health's cognitive task battery is designed to be an assessment, rather than a diagnostic tool. The objective data on how a patient compares with an age-matched population may assist in the diagnosis of disorders with a cognitive component, and built-in self-report questionnaires can assist in determining mental health disorder symptoms with automated scoring that highlights established cutoff scores. However, Creyos Health should be used in conjunction with other information and clinical judgement to reach conclusions regarding an individual’s health. Ultimately, Creyos Health does not replace the judgement of a qualified provider.

Are Creyos Health tasks related with injuries to specific areas of the brain?

The Creyos tasks were designed with the brain in mind, and were created to assess how behavioural performance is affected by specific injuries, diseases, and disorders. Brain imaging data from healthy participants have also shown the brain regions involved in each task. Performance on each task is related with different regions of the brain—the latest neuroscience informs how Creyos Health works, and how to best interpret results. See the Brain Regions Associated With the Creyos Tasks document for more information.

Can patients take Creyos Health assessments multiple times?

Creyos Health tasks are randomly generated and adapt to the patient’s performance in real time. These features make them appropriate for assessing patients multiple times, as answers cannot be prepared for or memorized, and practice effects are minimal. Many therapists use Creyos Health to assess patients regularly over the course of multiple months or years.

Who are patients being compared to in percentile scores?

Each score on the Creyos Health report is based on a comparison with a population of the same age range and gender as the patient. The population database was collected in the course of several large-scale worldwide studies, such as the Fractionating Human Intelligence paper published in Neuron. Participants in the database were not screened for any particular disorders, so it is designed to be representative of the entire population—not only healthy control participants.

Can Creyos Health be used with pediatric or geriatric populations?

Creyos Health can assess cognition in patients of nearly any age. The normative database includes participants from age 6 to age 75+. Healthcare providers have used Creyos Health with children ages 6 and up, as well as older individuals. Patients are always compared to a population that is in the same age range, so that normal fluctuations due to age are accounted for when interpreting results.

Can Creyos Health enable tele-rehabiltion virtual care by sending assessments remotely?

Creyos Health was built from the ground up as a web-based platform that can be accessed by any patient from any location. Built-in features allow you to instantly send an assessment to a patient by email, or set up an email assessment schedule to automate remote testing. You may also generate URLs to copy into your own email system. Interactive tutorials and other instructions ensure that patients can complete tasks without supervision, and a validity indicator highlights any potentially invalid results. See also: Five Ways to Increase Compliance When Sending Cognitive Assessments by Email.

Are Creyos Health tasks valid and reliable?

Overall, Creyos Health has psychometric properties that meet or exceed the standards set by the traditional scales and tools that healthcare providers are used to. Various types of validity have been established through decades of scientific research and clinical usage, and the Creyos Health tasks are direct descendents of some of the most trusted traditional neuropsychological tests available. Reliability is strong for a short test of cognition—the tasks themselves have test-retest reliabilities in the acceptable to excellent range (see Hampshire et al., 2012), and features such as customizable email instructions and interactive tutorials further increase reliability in the healthcare context supported by Creyos Health.
