چکیده

background: the motricity index was used to measure strength in upper and lower extremities after stroke. the weighted score based on the ordinal 6 point scale of medical research council was used to measure maximal isometric muscle strength. there is dearth of articles dealing with the reliability of this method. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the test retest reliability of motricity index strength assessments for paretic lower limb in 20 chronic stroke patients with one week interval. methods: in a cross sectional study, intrarater reliability of lower extremity motricity index strength assessments with one week interval were measured. result: the spss 18 was used for analysis of data. two-way random-consistency model of icc was used for assessment of test-retest reliability. the icc values showed high reliability of strength measurement of motricity index (icc=0.93). conclusion: the motricity index can be a reliable instrument for measuring the strength of involved lower extremity when assessment is done by one rater following chronic stroke.

The Test-Retest Reliability and Minimal Detectable Change of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of the Upper Extremity and 9-Hole Pegboard Test in Individuals With Subacute Stroke

Purpose: The first step to manage motor impairment of upper limb in patients with subacute stroke is having an accurate assessment tool. The Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity and 9-hole pegboard test are used to evaluate motor function and hand dexterity in stroke survivals. The present study aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change (MDC) in these tw...

Test-Retest Reliability of Innovated Strength Tests for Hip Muscles

The burden of hip muscles weakness and its relation to other impairments has been well documented. It is therefore a pre-requisite to have a reliable method for clinical assessment of hip muscles function allowing the design and implementation of a proper strengthening program. Motor-driven dynamometry has been widely accepted as the gold-standard for lower limb muscle strength assessment but i...

Test–Retest Reliability of Lower Extremity Functional Tests After a Closed Kinetic Chain Isokinetic Testing Bout

Context: Athletes are often examined for return to sports using a functional-testing algorithm. No research has determined whether a closed kinetic chain (CKC) isokinetic testing bout influences the reliability of functional tests. Objective: To determine whether a concentric CKC isokinetic test bout alters test–retest reliability of lower extremity functional testing. Design: Subjects particip...
