David S Tulsky, Allen W Heinemann
PMID 29265861WHAT IT FOUND
This introductory article summarizes companion papers on a cognitive test battery for people with disabilities.
It does not report original results, so there is nothing here to change practice.
What this paper is
This is an introductory article for a special section describing companion papers on the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery in adults with spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. It outlines features of those studies and the topics they cover, but it does not present original results or a finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat this introduction as evidence that the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery is validated for clinical use in people with disabilities. It summarizes companion papers and does not report original results.
