Inter-rater reliability and validity of the action research arm test in stroke patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Action Research arm test (ARAT) was constructed for assessing recovery of upper extremity function after cortical injury. The objective of the study was to verify the inter-rater reliability and validity of the ARAT in stroke patients. METHODS 50 stroke patients participated in the study. For the purpose of inter-rater study, the ARAT was administered by three exper...
متن کاملEffects of High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Motor Functions in Patients with Subcortical Stroke
Background: Motor function impairment occurs in approximately two-thirds of patients with subcortical stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive technique for modulating cortical excitability. Objectives: The present study was designed for assessing the efficacy of high-frequency rTMS (5 Hz) on ipsilesional primary motor cortex in patients with subcortical stro...
متن کاملnurses’ empowerment in self-care education to stroke patients: an action research study
background: self-care needs are major problems among stroke patients. nurses can support them through interventions such as education, a change in their attitude and emphasis on their remaining abilities. however, research has shown some weak points in the quality of care given to these patients. so the aim of this study was to improve the nurses’ practice in self-care education to stroke patie...
متن کاملThe responsiveness of the Action Research Arm test and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment scale in chronic stroke patients.
The responsiveness of the Action Research Arm (ARA) test and the upper extremity motor section of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale were compared in a cohort of 22 chronic stroke patients undergoing intensive forced use treatment aimed at improvement of upper extremity function. The cohort consisted of 13 men and 9 women, median age 58.5 years, median time since stroke 3.6 years. Responsive...
متن کامل[Validation of "Action Research Arm Test" (ARAT) in Chilean patients with a paretic upper limb after a stroke].
BACKGROUND Stroke is one of the main causes of disability and death in the world. Sixty three percent of stroke survivors require rehabilitation which is a complex functional recovery multidisciplinary task. AIM To determine the psychometric properties of the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), that is used to assess the functional recovery of a paretic upper limb. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty ...
