    This test could be used in acute care. This assessment offers a hospital version (MET_HV) that would be appropriate in the VA setting. This test was developed for use with a wider range of participants than the original version; it has more concrete rules, simplification of task demands and space provided on the instruction sheet for the patient to record the information they were to collect. There are 12 separate subtasks within four sets of simple tasks. These four task sets are as follows: 1. The patient must complete six specific errands (purchase 3 items, use the phone, collect and envelope from reception and send a letter to an external address), 2. The patient must obtain and write down four items of designated information (e.g. the opening time of a shop on Saturday), 3. The patient must meet the assessor outside of the hospital reception in 20 minutes after the test had begun and state the time, 4. The client must inform the assessor when he/she finishes the test. The test cannot be administered to patients confined to bed due to the nature of the questions. The test would be difficult to complete on patients instructed to only get up with help as they would have to have a nurse available at the time they need to meet some of the task requirements. Both validity and reliability have been established for this test for various populations (see citation for specifics).

    In every scientific profession, practice is constantly evolving in response to new knowledge. However, new knowledge presents challenges for all practitioners, not only in terms of how to stay up-to-date but also in terms of how to deliver the best quality practice. Another issue with the use of brief cognitive assessments is the use of specialized assessments based on the diagnosis typically presents. All presentations are different and therefore this reduces the effectiveness of a screen and attempts to act as a tool to diagnose. There is call in Australia for brief cognitive assessment with supported validity, reliability, sensitivity and specificity to better screen and address deficits. This same call has been made by AOTA.

    The MoCA is a valid screening test for Mild Cognitive impairement. This study aims to establish 90% reliable change indices for the MoCA together with MMSE in cognitive healthy adults. The study demonstrated RCI for the MoCA and MMSE in a 3 year time period that can be used for the estimation of cognitive decline or improvement in clinical settings.

    I found this article very helpful in understanding the usefulness in botox when working with patients, especially stroke patients, who have extreme spasticity in their upper limbs. This articles discusses the reliability and effectiveness in the use of botulinum toxin A when used in managing spasticity post stroke. The studies provided in this article support chemodenervation with botox A which helps with treating focal muscle over activity and spasticity post stroke. Botox A was most effective in the elbow flexors, ankle planter flexors, and intrinsics of the hand and wrist. It was noted that repeated injections of botox A resulted in longer waits between each injection without change in next dose. I found this useful when working at my site these past 12 weeks because I had a patient who had spasticity in L UE and recently received botox in L UE. The patient now how some grasp/release control and is able to initiate biceps in order to flex at the elbow.

    Self-perceptions of the everyday consequences of TBI can influence motivation for therapy and emotional adjustment to postinjury circumstances is important to meet the overall needs of patients with TBI.This article explores the Self-Perceptions in Rehab Questionnaire and found preliminary support for the SPIRQ scales' reliability and construct validity. This questionnaire will be useful with TBI patients in our practice.

    The MoCA screen is commonly used for individuals with Parkinson's Disease. The current study is a follow up from an original study. Thus, the aim of this pilot study was to develop an initial version of a new scoring procedure for the MoCA which considers the subtests' power to detect cognitive symptoms in PD, and to test whether it improves the ability to discriminate PD patients without cognitive impairment from patients with MCI and PD dementia. Screening procedures have high value as a time-economic, easy to use tool for a first step in detecting cognitive impairment in clinical practice, but will unlikely outweigh the reliability and validity of a neuropsychological test battery. The sensitivity of the MoCA increased from 68.8% to 81.3% while maintaining a specificity of 75% when using the weighted measurements. This means that more cognitively impaired subjects were detected in both patient groups. Since the sensitiviy increased it greater serves the purpose of a screen, to identify patients with cognitive impairments. The authors suggest this algorithm of weighting subtests may be applicable to patients with PD and other populations as historically some subtests of the MoCA have been too simple for non-demented patients.

    The aim of this study is to identify and evaluate the psychometric properties of cognitive assessments for older adults. Assessments were categorized based on length of time to assess, less than or more than 30 minutes and body function versus activity or participation. The authors reviewed evidence to determine the strength of each assessment (validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity) and the amount of literature supporting the use of these cognitive assessments for older adults. The following assessments demonstrated the best rigor for psychometric properties for cognitive assessment with older adults: for body function(under 30 minutes): the MMSE and 3MS, for body function (over 30 minutes): the Cognistat and CASE/Pecpa, and for the activity and participation level: the AMPS.

    The article explores the validity of the LACLS-5 (Allen's cognitive level screen) to assess and distinguish adults living in the community with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia. Individuals with mild dementia scored less on all clinical measures than cognitively normal (CN) individuals, however individuals with MCI scored intermediately compared to CN adults. LACLS-5 was able to adequately discriminate between CN and dementia and between MCI and dementia but was unable to reliably distinguish between CN and MCI. Despite these results of tool's inability to distinguish between CN and MCI, LACLS-5 was found to be a significantly effective tool to assess functional cognition.
