The reliability of the wolf motor function test for assessing upper extremity function after stroke.
OBJECTIVE To examine the reliability of the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) for assessing upper extremity motor function in adults with hemiplegia. DESIGN Interrater and test-retest reliability. SETTING A clinical research laboratory at a university medical center. PATIENTS A sample of convenience of 24 subjects with chronic hemiplegia (onset >1yr), showing moderate motor impairment. IN...

the major aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between iq, eq and test format in the light of test fairness considerations. this study took this relationship into account to see if people with different eq and iq performed differently on different test formats. to this end, 90 advanced learners of english form college of ferdowsi university of mashhad were chosen. they were ask...
15 صفحه اولThe Motor Activity Log-28: assessing daily use of the hemiparetic arm after stroke.
BACKGROUND Data from monkeys with deafferented forelimbs and humans after stroke indicate that tests of the motor capacity of impaired extremities can overestimate their spontaneous use. Before the Motor Activity Log (MAL) was developed, no instruments assessed spontaneous use of a hemiparetic arm outside the treatment setting. OBJECTIVE To study the MAL's reliability and validity for assessi...
