ImpactModerate impact

The social discussions suggest the article could influence clinical practices and awareness about diagnosing consciousness in brain-injured patients.

Abstract in brief

The article discusses patients with brain injuries who appear unresponsive but may actually have hidden awareness, revealed through advanced imaging and detailed motor testing.
It introduces the concept of clinical cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), describing patients who show subtle, purposeful motor responses despite seeming unresponsive, and suggests they have better long-term potential than previously thought.
The authors propose a new classification approach, including a flowchart and graphical model, to better distinguish between true disorders of consciousness and those with subtle motor signs indicative of covert awareness.]
