Use to measure and assess the neurological severity of a stroke. It consists of fifteen parameters obtained through clinical neurological assessment: - 1a. Level of consciousness (LOC) responsiveness (0-3p) - 1b. Level of consciousness questions (0-2p) - 1c. Level of conciousness commands (0-2p) - 2. Horizontal eye movement (0-2p) - 3. Visual (0-3p) - 4. Facial palsy (0-3p) - 5a. Left arm motor (0-4p) - 5b. Right arm motor (0-4p) - 6a. Left leg motor (0-4p) - 6b. Right leg motor (0-4p) - 7. Limb ataxia (0-2p) - 8. Sensory (0-2p) - 9. Best language (0-3p) - 10. Dysarthria (0-2p) - 11. Extinction/Inattention (0-2p) The maximum score is 42p. Increasing NIHSS scores are consistent with severe neurological impairment.
Aside from \"9. Best language\", all parameters should be rated by the first response.
