Area of Science:

Neurology
Medical Education Technology
Digital Health

Background:

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is crucial for assessing acute stroke neurological deficits.
Existing NIHSS training methods are outdated and lack comprehensive neurological finding demonstrations.
There is a need for an improved, modern training and certification system for the NIHSS.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel animated training and certification system for the NIHSS.
To address the limitations of current, timeworn NIHSS training and certification methods.

Main Methods:

Developed an animated system using digital motion capture and avatar rendering for comprehensive NIHSS item response illustration.
Created 20 unique case vignettes for certification, viewable from multiple angles.
Assessed interrater agreement through pilot testing with 42 users and a confirmatory sample of 365 users.

Main Results:

Users found the new animated training module more engaging and informative than legacy video training.
The new system demonstrated high clinometric reliability, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.979 in the confirmatory sample.
Kappa scores for individual NIHSS items ranged from 0.25 to 0.90, comparable to previous studies.

Conclusions:

The new animated training and certification system is a reliable and effective method for NIHSS education.
This digital system offers equivalent clinometric properties to legacy methods while enhancing user engagement.
The system's adaptability allows for future modifications to maintain novelty and user interest in NIHSS training.
