Neurological Assessment - NIH Stroke Scale

[Ruthsmithology]

Thank you for including the rationale, why its done, what to look out for and what the abnormal finding means, or possible cause of the abnormal finding.

The problem with doing this scale is when the patient has deficits, the grading of the deficits, and the many associated caveats. Unfortunately, this video glosses over the difficulties this can pose in doing the assessment and the amount of time that may be required to do the assessment. There are also many areas of this assessment that have very poor inter-rater reliability which are not pointed out in the video. I really wish all patients who are being evaluated for an acute stroke were as easy as the patient in the video.

I'm going to ask my manager to only make me do NIHSS on alert/oriented patients without stroke.😉

Hi there! Thank you for your wonderful educational video.

I was wondering, If the patient has sensory impairment, how would you test for extinction?

Also, what is the underlying neurophysiology of extinction?

Why is it the NIHSS not use pronator drift instead of this, which I have no idea what is the method of examination called? 😄

I know its a lot of questions. Apologies for the lengthy post.

Many thanks

Thank you so much, I write my research project

NIH score scale is calculated only in ischemic stroke???

[ItsMeTyT]

Yeah so you just showed how to perform a stroke assessment on someone not having a stroke.

The look on this dude's face tells me he doesn't believe in what he's teaching.
