Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Arm Activity Measure in people with chronic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Arm Activity Measure was developed to assess active and passive functions of the upper limb in people with unilateral paresis, but a Chinese version is not available and its psychometric properties have not been specifically tested in people with stroke. This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Chinese version of the Arm Activity Measure (ArmA-C) and establish its psychometric properties in people with chronic stroke.

Methods

The psychometric properties of ArmA-C were determined in 100 people with chronic stroke.

Results

The ArmA-C had good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients [ICC] = 0.87-0.93; quadratic weighted Kappa coefficients = 0.53-1.00). A floor effect was identified in section A of the ArmA-C. The conten
