Validity and reliability of the chronic composite XA, an upper limb motor assessment using Active Range of Motion in patients with chronic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Upper limb (UL) spastic paresis has been classically evaluated with assessments of passive movements with limited functional validity. The aim of this study was to assess whether a composite measure of active range of motion (AROM, or XA) is valid and reliable in chronic post-stroke spastic paresis.

Aim

The primary objective was to investigate the validity and reliability of a composite score, comprising multiple XA measurements, to assess UL spastic paresis in patients in chronic stages post-stroke. In addition to this, an exploratory analysis was conducted to identify which muscles should be optimally included in this composite score.

Design

A psychometric proprieties study.

Setting

Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Departm
