title: Response system analysis: what the neuropsychologist can contribute to the rehabilitation of individuals emerging from coma.
abstract: The process of coma emergence is defined and important issues are identified. Rehabilitative goals for persons emerging from coma are best served by a focus on their response capabilities, rather than sensory stimulation. A method called "response system analysis" is described to guide assessment and treatment of response capabilities.
