Abstract
The 15-item National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale is depicted here as a single diagram with major categories of deficits placed into 3 separate functional groups with 7 points assigned to each, in addition to 4 points for motor deficits in each of 4 extremities. This simple composite visual aid, known as the Stroke Quick Score, may help in training stroke team members in the use of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale.
