Assessing motor impairment after stroke: a pilot reliability study.

Abstract: Two short tests of motor function, the Motricity Index (MI) and the Trunk Control Test (TCT), were assessed at regular intervals after stroke and compared with a detailed physiotherapy test, the Rivermead Motor Assessment (RMA). The MI and TCT were valid and reliable tests which were usually quicker to perform than the RMA. The TCT was of predictive value when related to eventual walking ability. All three tests appeared to be of equal sensitivity in detecting change.

“…Instrumentos de avaliação: Avaliaram-se no ombro com H/P a presença ou ausência de dor, os graus de força muscular dos movimentos de elevação, protusão, flexão e abdução do ombro (zero a 5) 23 , e a capacidade de realizar ativamente os movimentos funcionais básicos (mudança de decúbito dorsal para lateral, da posição deitado para sentado e a manutenção da postura sentada) 24 . Para as variáveis passar para o decúbito lateral, passar para sentado e manter-se sentado adotou-se a seguinte escala de escores: (0) Não realiza o movimento/não mantém a posição; (1) Realiza o movimento com dificuldade/mantém a posição com dificuldade; (2) Realiza o movimento/ mantém-se na posição.…”

“…Candidate determinants for development of a prediction model included the following: (1) (11) sensory deficit in the arm as determined by the Thumb-Finding Test (0 to 3 points); 17 (12) Orpington Prognostic Score (1.6 to 6.8 points); (13) homonymous hemianopia 18 (noϭ0/yesϭ1); (14) inattention (1 if Ͼ2 omissions on the letter-cancellation test); 18 (15) conjugate gaze 19 (noϭ0/yesϭ1); (16) social support (noϭ0/yesϭ1); (17) type of (additional) therapy (air splint, arm, or leg training; 0 to 2) 8 ; and (18) severity and extent of paresis of upper and lower extremity motor function in arm and leg as assessed by the Motricity Index (MI) 20 and motor parts of the Fugl-Meyer (FM) score. 21 In the MI, muscle strength was measured for upper extremity (MI arm, 0 to 100) in which 100 points represents normal strength and lower extremity (MI leg, 0 to 100) separately, whereas FM motor scores were subdivided into FM arm score (including wrist, 0 to 52), FM hand score (0 to 14 points), and FM leg score (0 to 34 points) in which the maximum score represents no synergism.…”
