Primate Version of Modified Rankin Scale for Classifying Dysfunction in Rhesus Monkeys [PDF]
Stroke, 2020 Background and Purpose— Nonhuman primates are increasingly used in translational studies of ischemic stroke. However, current scoring systems in monkeys (eg, Nonhuman Primate Stroke Scale) do not focus on impairments in activities of daily living, so clinically relevant data are scarce for evaluating functional ...
