Table 4 The validated French adaptation of the Harmonization Standards Neuropsychological Battery for stroke, for describing cognitive functions at the M0, M1, M2, and M6 visits [48, 55]

SYNCOMOT will assess appropriate cognitive abilities (using the French adaptation [29] of the Harmonization Standards Neuropsychological Battery [48]) and behavioral dysexecutive disorders (using the previously validated Behavioral Dysexecutive Syndrome Inventory (BDSI)) [49]

- Detecting global cognitive impairments:

• Mini-Mental State Examination [57]

- Detection of the main cognitive disorders:

• Phasic: center using scale except Battery for the Evaluation of Lexical Disorders [58]

• Praxis: Florence Mayeux’s symbolic praxis test [59]

• Memory: short-term memory with an immediate verbal serial number recall (Baddeley task) and long-term verbal and visual memory

• Spatial neglect: Albert’s test

- Description of executive functions:

• Flexibility of attention: Trail-Making Test parts A and B [48]

• Dual task performance: Baddeley task [60]

• Inhibition: Stroop tasks [48]

• Verbal fluency: literal fluency (“P” at M0, “V” at M1, “R” at M2 and “B” at M6)

• Processing speed index (PSI): third edition of the Wechsler adult intelligence scale (WAIS-III)

• Dysexecutive behavior syndrome (BDSI) [49]

- Detection of mood disorders:

• Depression assessment on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) [90]

• Anxiety assessment on the Goldberg scale [91]
