Evolution of the Modified Rankin Scale and Its Use in Future Stroke Trials. [PDF]
Who would have guessed that a scale introduced by Dr John Rankin in 1957 would become the primary outcome scale for almost all acute stroke trials?1 The Rankin Scale was modified to its current form by Charles Warlow and others as part of the UK-TIA (United Kingdom Transient Ischaemic Attack) trial in the 1980s,2 and its reproducibility was first ...

Use of the Barthel index and modified Rankin scale in acute stroke trials. [PDF]
Background and Purpose —The Barthel Index (BI) and the Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) are commonly used scales that measure disability or dependence in activities of daily living in stroke victims. The objective of this study was to investigate how these scales were used and interpreted in acute stroke trials.

Validity of the modified Rankin Scale in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: a randomized study [PDF]
Abstract Purpose The modified Rankin Scale (mRS), a clinician-reported outcome measure of global disability, has never been validated in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The aims of this study are to assess: 1) convergent validity of the mRS; 2) responsiveness of the mRS; and 3) the distribution of mRS scores across ...

Determining the cut-off score for the Modified Barthel Index and the Modified Rankin Scale for assessment of functional independence and residual disability after stroke. [PDF]
Assessment of functional independence and residual disability is very important for measuring treatment outcome after stroke. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and the modified Barthel Index (MBI) are commonly used scales to measure disability or ...

Patient-Powered Reporting of Modified Rankin Scale Outcomes Via the Internet. [PDF]
Background and Purpose: The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a common and resource-intensive measure of functional outcome in stroke-related conditions. In this observational prospective cohort feasibility study, mRS scores are generated using a patient-powered online survey and compared to scores obtained by structured telephonic interview.
