“…• Higgins et al evaluated the efficacy of a task-oriented intervention in enhancing arm function and concluded that the BBT was substantially more responsive to improvement in UL function than the NHPT for patients within 1 year of a first or recurrent stroke [14]. [16].…”

“…In the past 5 years, a number of UL function tests have been examined for their psychometric and clinimetric properties in people with stroke, including the FuglMeyer Assessment (FMA) [6][7][8], Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) [6,[9][10][11], Box and Block Test (BBT) [7,[12][13][14], Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT) [12,[15][16][17], Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) [6][7][8]11,[16][17][18], and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) [16,[19][20]. The comparisons of outcome measures of UL motor function have been investigated in patients with stroke [6][7]16,21].…”

“…Among the UL function tests, the BBT [7,[12][13][14][22][23], NHPT [5,12,14,17,[24][25][26], and ARAT [1,5,7,[16][17]27] are three commonly used clinical measures to assess hand dexterous function in patients with stroke. Limited research directly compared the clinimetric properties between pairs of the BBT, NHPT, and ARAT in patients with stroke [7,12,14,16].…”

Abstract-In this study, we compared the responsiveness and validity of the Box and Block Test (BBT), the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPT), and the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT). We randomized 59 patients with stroke into one of three rehabilitation treatments for 3 weeks. We administered six outcome measures (BBT, NHPT, ARAT, Fugl-Meyer Assessment [FMA], Motor Activity Log [MAL], and Stroke Impact Scale [SIS] hand function domain) pretreatment and posttreatment. We used the standardized response mean (SRM) to examine responsiveness and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (rho) to examine concurrent validity. The BBT, NHPT, and ARAT were moderately responsive to change and not significantly different (SRM = 0.64-0.79). The correlations within the BBT, NHPT, and ARAT were moderate to good at pretreatment (rho = -0.55 to -0.80) and posttreatment (rho = -0.57 to -0.71). The BBT and ARAT showed fair to moderate correlations with the FMA, MAL, and SIS hand function domain at pretreatment and posttreatment (rho = 0.31-0.59), whereas the NHPT demonstrated low to fair correlations with the FMA and MAL (rho = -0.16 to -0.33) and moderate correlations with the SIS hand function domain (rho = -0.58 to -0.66). Our results indicate that the BBT, NHPT, and ARAT are suitable to detect changes over time. While simultaneously considering the responsiveness and validity attributes, the BBT and ARAT can be considered more appropriate for evaluating dexterous function than the NHPT. Further studies with larger samples are needed to validate these findings. Clinical

“…Salbach et al [42] reported that task oriented intervention did not improve voluntary movement or manual dexterity of affected arm in chronic stroke patients. The greater relative improvements reported in this study indicated that the effect of task oriented training is magnified if it is commenced during early rehabilitation.…”
