Σύνοψη	The Disability Rating Scale (DRS) is a brief, clinician-administered measure specifically designed to assess the severity of disability and functional recovery across the entire spectrum of traumatic brain injury (TBI)—from acute coma to community reintegration. Developed by Rappaport and colleagues in 1982, DRS has become a standard outcome measure in TBI research and clinical practice, uniquely spanning acute (comatose) phases through chronic community outcomes where other measures fail.	The Participation Scale (P-Scale) is a brief, 8-item measure designed to assess restrictions in participation across social and occupational roles in people with chronic conditions or disabilities. Developed by van Brakel and colleagues, the P-Scale is widely used in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) settings and in global health research where conciseness and cross-cultural applicability are essential. It offers a quick, validated snapshot of how much a condition limits a person's engagement in work, self-care, communication, and social participation.
