[Quantitative scales for measuring neurological deficit in cerebrovascular diseases].
The development of quantitative scales for the measurement of neurological deficit is a complex process involving the assessment of both validity and reliability. The steps required in the validation and reliability assessment are outlined in this paper. Each component of the process is illustrated using the results of the validation of the Canadian Stroke Scale (CNS).
