Introduction<\/h5>\n
\n

The Unit is a pioneer in the implementation of evaluations for patients with serious mental disorders and\/or cognitive impairments, in a comprehensive and personalized manner.<\/p>\n

In addition, we have a support technology that allows us to objectify parameters that were traditionally obtained subjectively. To do this, the unit practices:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Extensive and detailed neuropsychological examinations of the clinical status.<\/li>\n
  • Neurocognitive functions and social cognition and psychosocial functioning.<\/li>\n
  • Genetic diagnosis service for the evaluation of diseases of the nervous system.<\/li>\n
  • Analysis of visual attention (TOBII).<\/li>\n
  • A comprehensive system for diagnosing physical dysfunctions. This system helps determine the extent of the disease and identify the duration of the recovery processes, guaranteeing the patient’s well-being.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The implementation of integrated programs for prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of functional decline, both physical and neurocognitive, in people with severe mental disorders (SMI), and in those with a higher risk of simultaneously presenting other diseases. The multimorbidity related to neurocognitive alterations and the effects of polypharmacy is the object of study.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

    Clinical evaluation<\/p>\n

    An integrated service is presented, made up of three main evaluation areas:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Neurocognitive (or non-social cognition).<\/li>\n
    • Social cognition.<\/li>\n
    • Psychosocial functioning.<\/li>\n
    • Symptoms, course, medication and multimorbidity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Intervention programs mainly focused primarily on two strategies:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Psychoeducation for patients and relatives.<\/li>\n
      • Training and recovery of basic and social cognitive skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Functional evaluation:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Functional assessment of the musculoskeletal system.<\/li>\n
        • Assessment of the cervical spine.<\/li>\n
        • Gait assessment.<\/li>\n
        • Assessment of the lumbar spine.<\/li>\n
        • Upper limb assessment: shoulder.<\/li>\n
        • Assessment of the upper limb: joint balance.<\/li>\n
        • Assessment of the lower limbs.<\/li>\n
        • Upper limb assessment: muscle balance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Visual attention analysis<\/p>\n

          Tobii T60 Eye Trackers enables on-screen eye tracking studies for a wide variety of research purposes. Accurate 60 Hz or 120 eye tracking, and provides reliable results in a natural testing environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
