Classification

The American Hearth Association presented a Stroke Outcome Classification (AHA.SOC) score classifies the severity and extent of neurological impairments that are the basis for disability. The classification also identifies the level of independence of stroke patients according to basic and more complex activities of daily living both at home and in the community. The classification score is meant to describe the limitations resulting from the current stroke. It is not an evaluation of disabilities caused by other neurological events. Furthermore, it is a summary score. (Kelly-Hayes, Robertson et al. 1998)
