These indexes add clinical richness and assist both clinicians and researchers in evaluating the source and implications of low scores on the CTMT2. Two new composite indexes, Inhibitory Control (composed of Trails 1–3) and Set Shifting (Trails 4–5), are included in addition to the Total Composite Index (Trails 1–5).An updated normative sample is reflective of 2017 U.S.Neuropsychologists clinical, counseling, school, and pediatric psychologists occupational therapists speech and language professionals physical therapists and others interested in objective testing of functionality in brain–behavior relationships would all benefit from using the CTMT2. Other purposes include detection of frontal lobe deficits problems with psychomotor speed, visual search and sequencing, and attention and impairments in set shifting along with monitoring recovery from concussion and other forms of TBI. The test’s primary uses include the evaluation and diagnosis of brain injury and other forms of central nervous system compromise.
#TIMELY COMMUNICATION CTMT TOOL SERIES#
The basic task of the trails is to connect a series of stimuli (numbers, expressed as numerals or in word form, and letters) in a specified order as quickly as possible. The Comprehensive Trail-Making Test–Second Edition (CTMT2) is a standardized assessment that uses five visual search and sequencing tasks, called trails, that are heavily influenced by attention, concentration, resistance to distraction, and cognitive flexibility (or set-shifting).
