Neurocognitive and psychomotor performance assessment and rehabilitation system
First Claim
1. An assessment and rehabilitation system for cognitive testing of a plurality of users, the system comprising:
- a handheld computer comprising;
a CPU operating an executive program for controlling a plurality of modules comprising;
a plurality of test modules, each executing a specific individual test on the handheld computer to test a cognitive attribute of a user;
a plurality of test batteries each comprising one or more specified test modules, the specified test modules being selectively chosen for each test battery to test a respective cognitive attribute of one or more of the plurality of users, at least one test battery having at least two specified test modules for testing different cognitive attributes, wherein the plurality of test modules generate a test stimuli;
at least one registration module for registering each of the plurality of users;
a plurality of interpretive modules for interpreting results of the test batteries, wherein the interpretive modules compare the user'"'"'s current test performance with normative data, the user'"'"'s previous test results and passing criterion for each test module in order to determine the current test results for the test batteries; and
at least one report module for immediately generating a cognitive status report for reporting the test battery results as determined by the plurality of interpretive modules;
a screen for displaying test stimuli and test battery results; and
an input portion permitting each of the users to register with the at least one registration module, select one or more test batteries for administration by the executive program, and respond to the stimuli.

Abstract
A computerized Neuropsychological/NeuroCognitive and Psychomotor Performance Assessment and Rehabilitation system is designed for use on handheld computer systems. Components of the system include an executive program, test modules, interpretive and report modules, and supporting utilities. The system provides point-of-use interpretations and result reports. The system is designed for use in clinical settings, occupational medicine, and research. Medical applications include use as a diagnostic, evaluation, and treatment instrument. In industrial settings it can be used as a fitness/readiness for work assessment. The assessment and rehabilitation system also contains modules for use in forensic mental competency, mental and emotional status examinations.
