A feasibility study showed that the research edition of the modified WAIS-R for patients with speech and/or hand dysfunction has promise. Four Verbal Scale subtests and three Performance subtests of the modified WAIS-R were correlated with the standard version. The Verbal IQs of an experimental group (n = 16 severely physically handicapped) and Performance IQs of a control group (n = 32 able-bodied adults) on the two versions were not significantly different. In a comparison study of nonretarded patients with severe cerebral palsy (n = 14) or with spinal cord injury (n = 14), the spinal cord group's mean Verbal IQs and Performance IQs on the modified WAIS-R were significantly higher than those of the severe cerebral palsy group, but the difference was relatively larger for Performance IQs than Verbal IQs. Acquisition of motor dysfunction early in development (severe cerebral palsy) compared to later in development (spinal cord injury) may constrain nonverbal intelligence more than verbal intelligence.
一项可行性研究表明，针对言语和/或手部功能障碍患者的修订版韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS-R）研究版具有前景。修订版WAIS-R的四个言语量表子测验和三个操作子测验与标准版相关。两个版本上，实验组（n = 16，重度身体残疾）的言语智商和对照组（n = 32，健全成年人）的操作智商没有显著差异。在一项对非智力迟钝的重度脑瘫患者（n = 14）或脊髓损伤患者（n = 14）的比较研究中，脊髓损伤组在修订版WAIS-R上的平均言语智商和操作智商显著高于重度脑瘫组，但操作智商的差异相对于言语智商更大。与发育后期（脊髓损伤）相比，发育早期获得运动功能障碍（重度脑瘫）可能对非言语智力的限制比对言语智力的限制更大。
