minutes , ADAPSS-sf: 5-10 minutes; ADAPSS: 10-20 minutesThe psychology team at the National Spinal Injuries Centre, UK, have developed an excel tool* which automates scoring for the ADAPSS and ADAPSS-sf to save administration time:

The scoring tool contains the instructions for the scale, references the literature and the scale itself. Scores are inputted electronically and the total scores/interpretations of scores are automatically generated. Details regarding scoring interpretation are also included. Please note that you need to enable macros for these scoring tools to work properly.
*Please note that you need to download a copy of the scoring tool, instead of using it directly on the google drive.
