N2 - This pilot study assessed three standardized
cognitive and visual perceptual assessments for their ability to predict functional
performance in adults who have had a stroke?the Neurobehavioural Status Examination
(Cognistat), Occupational Therapy Adult Perceptual Screening Test, and the
Developmental Test of Visual Perception-Adolescent and Adult. The participants were
27 adults diagnosed as having had a stroke, who were admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation
center over a nine-month period. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
was used to measure their functional performance at discharge from rehabilitation. The
results indicate that the ?comprehension? and ?similarities? subscales of the Cognistat
were the best predictors of functional performance as measured by the FIM. A large
amount of variance in functional performance remained unexplained by the standardized
tests; however, overall and despite their limitations, the tests were able to predict
functional performance skills of stroke patients.
