[5]ReliabilityandValidityofMFT

Recent studies on functionaloutcome measures ofstroke rehabilitationhavestressed the critical

examinationofthefunctionalratingscaleandthestatisticsused(Merbitzetal.1989,Wrightetal.

1989:Lydenetal.1991:Silversteinetal.1991.1992:Vanclay1991).

MFTwasorlglnallydevelopedasanassessmenttooloftheaffectedupperextremityofhemipar-

etic stroke patients.MFS was significantly related to the stage ofmotor recovery(Brunnstrom

1970)and to task-performance of developmentalmi1estones such as tasks of Motor Age Test

(Johnson et al.1951),indicating concurrent validity(Figure4,Figure5).Reliabi】ity of MFT

examinedby a test-reteStmethod washighenough(the affectedside:r=0.99:thenon-affected

Side:r=0.84、p<0.01.respectively).Table2presentsthereliabilitycoefficientsoftheMFTtasks.

ExceptPeg-board(PP),reliabilitycoefficientsarehigh.

AlthoughtheMFTwasprimarilymadeupofanordinalscale、Guttman’sscaleanalysis(Guttman

1950)performedonthe data obtained from120patients,afterslight modification ofthescoring

method.has shownthecoefficient ofreproducibility=0.940and thecoefficientscalability=0.804、

indicatingitsscalabilityorunidimensionality(Moriyamaetal.1991).Accordingly,MFScouldbe

treated as anintervalscale(Hamilton et al.1989;Johnston1989).A patient’sMFS appears to

reflectthelevelofimpairmentofmotorfunctionoftheaffectedupperextremity.andthechangesof

MFS during medicalrehabilitation willcorrespondwith how much the patient has recovered

(Nakamuraetal.1992).

thebasisofgood medicalrehabilitationpractice.

Twitchell(1951).examiningthesequenceofmotorrecoveryoftheaffectedupperextremityof

StrOke patients,repOrted that the returnOf proprioceptlVe facilitation and a proximaltraction

responsewithin2weeksweregoodprognosticslgnSforrecoveryofvoluntarymovements.There-

after,mOSt Studies on motor recovery of hemipleglC patients have focused on the regularity of

recovery patternS aSSeSSed by either kinematic changes or motor performance,Classifying the

patientsIstatusinto severalstages or glVlngthem some scores based on a specific criterion

(Brunnstrom1970,Moriyama1987).In addition,preVious studies have attempted to determine

Clinicalor demographic variables as predictors ofthelevelofmotor function at a set time after

StrOke(Gresham1986Jongbloed1986.Nakamuraetal.1990).Moreover,SeVeralstudieshavenoted

thatthedegreeofparesisattheinitialassessmentisslgnificantlyrelatedtofunctionaloutcomeof
