Performing the exam takes 5-8 minutes. The documentation of neurologic status and outcome is then available in a form that provides for information exchange. Originally designed as a research tool, the test has a nonlinear ordinal scale with possible scores 0-42 and documents wakefulness, vision, sensation, movement, language function and perception.Citation DetailsTitle: Using the NIH stroke scale to assess stroke patients.
