The Orgogozo stroke scale was designed to assess middle cerebral artery stroke 1-3. This scale's use has become rarer in contemporary literature due to the widespread adoption of the NIH Stroke Scale, however basic knowledge may assist interpretation of older literature 4,5.
Classification
consciousness: 0 (coma), 5 (stupor), 10 (drowsiness), 15 (normal)
verbal communication: 0 (impossible), 5 (difficult), 10 (normal)
eyes and head shift: 0 (forced), 5 (gaze failure), 10 (none)
facial movements: 0 (paralysis), 5 (normal)
arm raising: 0 (impossible), 5 (incomplete), 10 (possible)
hand movements: 0 (useless), 5 (useful), 10 (skilled), 15 (normal)
upper limb tone: 0 (increased or decreased), 5 (normal
leg raising: 0 (impossible), 5 (gravity), 10 (resistance), 15 (normal)
foot dorsiflexion: 0 (foot drop), 5 (gravity), 10 (resistance or normal)
lower limb tone: 0 (increased or decreased), 5 (normal)
Interpretation
The scale ranges from 0-100, with a lower value indicating greater impairment.
