The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) announces Version 2.0 of the popular interactive DVD training tool for administering and scoring the NIH Stroke Scale. Studio-produced footage provides clear views of doctors performing the NIH Stroke Scale. Instructional examples illustrate every potential score on each scale item. On-screen menus allow you to view, repeat, and move between sections with ease. The new disk set is compatible with computer-based DVD drives as well as DVD players.

The two-disc set features:

Detailed instruction on each scale item to teach you how to administer and score all items in the NIH Stroke Scale;
Two demonstration cases to test your skill by allowing you to score the results before hearing the examiner provide the score;
Three full certification sets of six patients each that allows you to score patients and submit your answers to an accrediting organization for certification; and
An introduction and commentary from leading stroke experts that provide insight on the significance of the NIH Stroke Scale and tips for proper scoring.
