Nutech Functional Score: A New Functional Scoring System for Patients With Cerebrovascular Accidents

“Stroke or cerebrovascular accident happens when a part of the brain gets a poor supply of blood that leads to either hemorrhage or blockage due to deoxygenation. To measure stroke outcomes, various stroke scales are invented in the last few decades. The present study has compared a novel stroke scale, Nutech functional score (NFS) to that with the most widely used and globally recognized European stroke scale (ESS).
NFS has proven to be a much simpler and efficient scoring system in comparison with ESS which is a 14-point stroke scale. NFS is a multiple use scale which can measure more parameters than ESS and can be used universally to assess the patients suffering with stroke.”
