Neuro-Rehab Outcome measures Flashcards
what outcome measure can be used for STS?
5 times sit-to-stand test
(5XSTS)
Justify why the 5XSTS is an appropriate outcome measure?
It has excellent reliability and validity
how is the 5XSTS valid?
it is a valid measure of dynamic balance and functional mobility, when its performance was compared with the timed get up and go test
p<0.001
how is the 5XSTS reliable?
it has excellent intra-rater reliability with ICC range of 0.91-0.93
it has excellent test re-test reliability with ICC range of 0.98-0.99
what outcome measure can be used for gait?
Functional Gait Assessment (FGA)
How is the FGA reliable?
It has excellent:
intra-rater relibaility
inter-rater reliability
test re-test
with an ICC is between 0.94-0.97
how is the FGA valid?
it has excellent correlation with the 10MWT
What outcome measure can we use to assess reach and grasp?
Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA)
How do we know the FMA is reliable?
Excellent interrater reliability: ICC = 0.95
Excellent intrarater reliability: ICC = 0.99
what are the 5 domains of the FMA?
- Motor Function
- Sensory Function
- Balance
- Joint ROM
- Joint Pain
what is the MDC for stroke patients with the FMA
5.2
How do we know the FMA is valid?
it has excellent correlation with the Motor Assessment Scale
