Cincinnati Stroke Scale Scoring

The Cincinnati stroke scale is a quick assessment tool that healthcare professionals use to identify potential stroke symptoms in patients. It evaluates three key areas, facial droop, arm drift, and speech abnormalities, to determine the likelihood of a stroke.

The CPSS does not utilize numerical score values. Instead, it identifies suspected stroke symptoms based on three tests. If any of the tests—facial droop, arm drift, or speech difficulties—show abnormalities, it suggests a possible stroke.
