Abstract
To examine the clinical utility of two brief assessment tools, the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R). We hypothesized that these measures would predict continued need for supervision and functional outcome at discharge. In this retrospective review, 44 patients with stroke who were admitted for acute inpatient rehabilitation were measured on five variables: WASI, HVLT-R, length of stay, FIM discharge scores, and need for supervision on discharge. Performance on the HVLT-R and WASI matrix reasoning subtest of the WASI was predictive of cognitive discharge scores on the FIM and need for supervision on discharge. The WASI similarities subtest was not associated with outcome. WASI matrix reasoning and HVLT-R are brief neuropsychological measures that are predictive of need for supervision and functional outcome in the acute stroke rehabilitation setting.
