Abstract

The purpose of this study was NIHSS(National Institutes of Health stroke scale) to activities of Daily Living stroke patient. We designed a 17 item neurogic Examination NIHSS use in acute stroke therapy trials. In a study of stroke patient. Assessment were measured by the NIHSS and by the MBI (Modified Barthel Index) to evaluate activities of daily living(ADL). Fifty patients were subject in this study. Collected data analysis were completed by using t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis and Multiple regression analysis. The following were as follow; Among the test of NIHSS(National Institutes of Health stroke scale) was significantly correlated with changes in MBI(Modified Barthel Index) score in 50 stroke patients. Among the subitems of NIHSS, Pupillary Response, a level of consciousness, best motor arm, best motor leg were the best predictors of functional improvement.
