Abstract

This chapter introduces the reader to the concept of differential diagnosis of the patient with a neurological condition. After reading the chapter, the reader should be able to distinguish between differential diagnosis for medical screening, and differential diagnosis of impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. The reader will be able to analyze the concept of system and subsystem screening to be used with patients with known or unknown preexisting neurological dysfunction. This chapter emphasizes the importance of performing a medical screening for all patients who interact in a therapeutic environment with occupational or physical therapists..
