The score of “0” is assigned to each test performed barely at or below the given cut-off and the score of “1” to each test performed above the cut-off value.
Any one performance could be scored as “1,” if it is above the cut-off for a given functionality.
Any two performances could be scored as “1,” if they are above the cut-off for given functionality.
Any three performances could be scored as “1,” if they are above the cut-off for given functionality.
A total score of 0 or 1 indicates a state of major functional decline.
A total score of 2 indicates moderate functional decline.
A total score of 3 indicates minor functional decline.
A total score of 4 indicates no functional decline.
