Default Quantifying the problem

Good Day Folks,

has anyone had their PCS quantified? By that I mean their specific symptoms verified and magnitude of those symptoms measured?

I would really like to get back to work, which involves coordination/cognitive ability/balance and my senses (particularly sight and hearing). I had to undergo physical and psychometric testing to get there, and am hoping if I can now show a level of impairment that meets a certain baseline, I can continue. I've got a feeling that if I say I have PCS they will just say no on principle so I may have to fight it on individual levels of impairment.

Am I making sense here or just rambling??

Only a NeuroPsychological Assessment can quantify the memory and cognitive levels. It can also give a very basic reference to motor skills with the finger tapping test.

Was you psychometric testing really a NeuroPsychological Assessment ?

There are other tests but they are not recognized by most.

[and am hoping if I can now show a level of impairment that meets a certain baseline, I can continue.]

Is you employer requiring a test to show you have improved to a safe and functional level ?
