VATA-ADL: The Visual Analogue Test for Anosognosia for Activities of Daily Living

CONCLUSIONS: Anosognosia (overestimation of abilities) for ADL is frequent, even in post-acute stages post-stroke. Some other patients underestimated their abilities, indicating that poor metacognition of one's own abilities in brain damaged patients is bi-directional. Both types of misestimation may have clinical consequences worth considering for the wellbeing of patients and their carers.PMID:35313346 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acac009
