The study of pathological impairments of consciousness, as they can appear in severely brain injured patients, can be particularly useful to better clarify cognitive processes and cerebral substrates which underlie consciousness. In this review, we will introduce the disorders of consciousness that can be presented by severely brain-injured patients and the behavioural scales that can be used t...

Over the last 20 years, studies have provided greater insight into disorders of consciousness (DOC), also known as altered state of consciousness. Increased brain residual functions have been identified in patients with DOC due to the successful application of novel next-generation imaging technologies. Many unconscious patients have now been confirmed to retain considerable cognitive functions...

Cerebral disorders are often associated with disturbance of consciousness. Since the latter could alter the prognosis of physical function, early improvement of consciousness level is important. The present study tested the hypothesis that sitting position improves disturbances of consciousness in patients with cerebral disorders. The subjects were 17 patients with cerebral disorders and distur...
