Acute Stroke: (Hartman-Maeir et al, 2009; Hospital 1: n = 10; mean age = 79.3 (5.8); Hospital 2: n = 11 mean age = 77.82 (5.1) years; assessed within one month of stroke; Israeli Sample) 

• Range = 1¨C29; mean 9.34 (5.79) points

Acute Stroke: (Hartman-Maeir et al, 2009)

Four experienced occupational therapists (two from each hospital) rated patient on the Kettle Test

• Excellent (Spearman) correlations for Kettle Test total scores from both rater-pairs (Hospital 1: r = 0.851, p = 0.001; Hospital 2: r = 0.916, p = 0.000)

Acute Stroke: (Hartman-Maeir et al, 2009; assessed within one month of stroke; rated by 4 experienced occupational therapists at two hospitals) 

• Excellent test-retest reliability (r's ranged from 0.851 to 0.916)

Elderly Population: (Hartman-Maeir et al, 2004; n = 41; mean age = 75.2 years; referred due to suspected cognitive disability)

• Excellent correlation with Mini-Mental Status Evaluation (r = 0.56)
• Excellent correlation with Clock Drawing Test (r = 0.59)
• Adequate correlation with Star Cancellation subtest of the Behavioral Inattention Test (r = 0.32)
• Excellent correlation with caregiver ratings of ADLs (r = 0.53) and IADLs (r = 0.58)

Comparing stroke patients with a control group (controlling for years of education)

• Stroke patients showed a wider range of performance (1¨C29) than the control group (0¨C3)
