Abstract

Accurate assessment of neurological physiotherapy outcomes is fundamental for tracking patient progress, guiding treatment, and ensuring evidence-based care. With the increasing complexity of neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury, the use of reliable and valid outcome measures has gained prominence. This scoping review provides a detailed overview of the assessment tools commonly used in neurological physiotherapy, classifying them using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. Outcome measures are categorized under Body Function and Structure, Activity, and Participation, with condition-specific tools discussed in detail. The review identifies gaps in standardization, challenges in selection, and recent trends toward technology-enhanced assessments. Tables are provided for quick reference to tools by category and neurological condition.
