Test of Everyday Attention
Test of Everyday Attention (TEA) consists of multiple subtests assessing different aspects of attention. There is no single overall score with a defined minimum and maximum range. Each subtest has its own scoring range and is interpreted using age-adjusted normative data and percentile ranks. For all subtests, higher scores generally indicate better attentional performance.
Time frame: Baseline and post 4 weeks of intervention
Stroke Impact Scale
Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) scores range from 0 to 100 for each domain. A score of 0 indicates greatest impact of stroke or complete inability to perform tasks within that domain, while a score of 100 indicates no disability, no difficulty performing tasks, and the best possible outcome. Higher scores indicate better functioning and less impact of stroke.
Time frame: Baseline and post 4 weeks of intervention
