Abstract:
Objective To investigate the criterion validity of Wolf motor function test (WMFT), BOX-BLOCK TEST (BBT), Nine-Hole Peg Test for assessing upper limb motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia, as well as the correlation between them. Methods 21 stroke patients participated in the study. 21 stroke patients were assessed once with WMFT, BBT, Nine-Hole Peg Test and U-FMA by one rater. All the 4 tests were assessed on the same day for each patient. The total time of WMFT, the total score of WMFT, the counts of BBT, the time of Nine-Hole Peg Test and the sore of U-FMA were recorded. The Spearman correlation was used to analyze the criterion validity and the correlation. Results and Conclusion Both the total score of WMFT and the BBT counts correlated with U-FMA score (P<0.01). The time of Nine-Hole Peg Test and the total time of the WMFT were not correlated with U-FMA score (P>0.05). The total time of the WMFT and the total score of the WMFT were not correlated (P>0.05). The BBT counts and the total score of the WMFT were correlated (P<0.01). The time of Nine-Hole Peg Test and the total time of WMFT were correlated (P<0.01).
