Evaluation of quality of life for selected neurological diseases

The use of rating scales has been more and more common in the rehabilitation facilities. Not only specific tests are available for particular diagnoses containing a description of impairment, with a long tradition of use at our departments, but now also tests describing activities, participation, and quality of life of patients. For the purpose of neurorehabilitation, the authors comment on the tests for stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease.
