| Popis: | OBJECTIVE. This article describes a performance-based measure of executive function, the Multiple Errands Test–Revised (MET–R), and examines its ability to discriminate between people with mild cerebrovascular accident (mCVA) and control participants. METHOD. We compared the MET–R scores and measures of CVA outcome of 25 participants 6 mo post-mCVA and 21 matched control participants. RESULTS. Participants with mCVA showed no to minimal impairment on measures of executive function at hospital discharge but reported difficulty with community integration at 6 mo. The MET–R discriminated between participants with and without mCVA (p ≤ .002). CONCLUSION. The MET–R is a valid and reliable measure of executive functions appropriate for the evaluation of clients with mild executive function deficits who need occupational therapy to fully participate in community living. |
