The Ranchos Scale is a medical scale used to describe the cognitive and behavioral patterns of individuals who have experienced traumatic brain injuries. It is often implemented by healthcare professionals to assess the patient’s level of cognitive recovery and functioning at different stages of rehabilitation, with stages 1-4 encompassing the early stages of brain injury recovery. 

According to the Ranchos Scale, specific characteristics of Stage 4 include confusion, disorientation, and frustration. The victim may have limited awareness of their surroundings or themselves. They may have difficulty focusing on tasks or be easily distracted. Physical limitations may also be present at this stage, including motor deficits, fatigue, and difficulty with activities of daily living.

Every stage of recovery from a traumatic brain injury requires extensive support, and Stage 4 is no exception. It’s important to ensure that the patient is receiving the medical care, rehabilitation, and emotional support they need during this phase of healing.
