Cognitive impairment is a common consequence of mild stroke. Current
performance-based assessments for mild stroke can detect mild impairments in
executive function but lack alternate forms to be used as outcome measures.
This study aimed to develop an alternate form of the Complex Task Performance
Assessment (CTPA-Alt), a performance-based assessment of executive function, and
to establish the alternate form reliability of the CTPA-Alt.
A repeated-measures
study was conducted with 26 community participants. Participants were screened
for eligibility and administered both forms of the CTPA; administration order was
alternated. Overall performance was significantly correlated (rs = .44, p = .03),
but pattern of scoring differed by CTPA form and order of administration. Our
results indicate that the CTPA forms were similar but that the specific tasks in
each form were different. The CTPA may be used as an ecologically valid outcome
assessment with further considerations.
