FRONTAL LOBE EXAMINATION PART 3 | FRONTAL ASSESSMENT BATTERY (FAB) | EXECUTIVE FUNCTION

🧠 The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) is one of the most widely used bedside screening tools for evaluating frontal lobe dysfunction and executive functions. It helps clinicians assess conceptualization, mental flexibility, motor programming, inhibitory control, environmental autonomy, and sensitivity to interference. In Part 3 of the Frontal Lobe Examination series, we cover the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) in detail, including its components, scoring, interpretation, and clinical significance in neurological practice. 📚 Topics Covered: ✔ Introduction to Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) ✔ Indications of FAB ✔ Six Components of FAB ✔ Conceptualization Test ✔ Mental Flexibility ✔ Motor Programming (Luria Test) ✔ Sensitivity to Interference ✔ Inhibitory Control (Go/No-Go) ✔ Environmental Autonomy ✔ FAB Scoring System ✔ Clinical Interpretation ✔ Frontal Lobe Dysfunction 🎯 Ideal for: Physiotherapy Students Neuro Physiotherapy Students Nursing Students Occupational Therapy Students Speech & Hearing Students Neurology Residents Rehabilitation Professionals Mastering the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) is essential for bedside cognitive assessment, executive function evaluation, and neurological rehabilitation.
