- Orgogozo scale
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 ref.
