Abstract

There are very few standard instruments currently available for measuring upper extremity (UE) functions for patients with stroke in Thailand. This study aims to examine the concurrent validity, construct validity, and stability reliability of the Functional Test for Hemiplegic Upper Extremity (FTHUE)-Thai version for patients with stroke. Thirty hemiplegic participants from five community rehabilitation centers in Chiang Mai province and 30 healthy subjects were recruited. The FTHUE-Thai version and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for the Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) were the instruments used. Concurrent validity was determined by investigating the relationship between the FTHUE-Thai version and the FMA-UE. Construct validity was investigated by comparing the performance of FTHUE-Thai version between stroke participants and healthy subjects. The stability reliability of the FTHUE-Thai version, which measured the UE function of stroke participants twice in a two-week’s period, was also investigated. The statistics used were Spearman’s correlation coefficient and the Mann-Whitney test. There were significant correlations between the UE function, as measured by the FTHUE-Thai version, and the arm, and hand sub-scores, as well as the total scores of the FMA-UE ( r = 0. 93, r = 0. 84, and r = 0. 95, respectively), indicating good concurrent validity. Stability reliability was also good ( r = 0. 98, weighted kappa = 0. 94). A known group technique test revealed significantly different scores between stroke patients and healthy subjects ( p < . 001), indicating good construct validity. The FTHUE-Thai version could be a reliable measurement tool for the UE function in stroke patients in the Thai context.
上肢偏瘫功能测试-泰国版的有效性和可靠性
在泰国,目前用于测量脑卒中患者上肢(UE)功能的标准工具很少。本研究旨在检验泰国版中风偏瘫上肢功能测试(FTHUE)对中风患者的并发效度、结构效度和稳定性可靠性。本研究招募了来自清迈府五个社区康复中心的 30 名偏瘫患者和 30 名健康受试者。使用的工具为 FTHUE-泰国版和 Fugl-Meyer 上肢评估(FMA-UE)。通过研究 FTHUE-Thai 版和 FMA-UE 之间的关系确定了并发效度。通过比较脑卒中参与者和健康受试者的 FTHUE-Thai 版的表现来考察其结构效度。泰国版 FTHUE 在两周内两次测量了脑卒中参与者的上电功能,其稳定性可靠性也得到了研究。采用的统计方法是斯皮尔曼相关系数和曼-惠特尼检验。泰国版 FTHUE 测定的上肢功能与 FMA-UE 的手臂、手部和总分之间存在明显的相关性(分别为 r = 0.93、r = 0.84 和 r = 0.95),表明两者具有良好的并发效度。稳定性可靠性也很好(r = 0. 98,加权卡帕 = 0. 94)。已知的分组技术测试显示,脑卒中患者和健康受试者的得分存在明显差异(P < 001),这表明该问卷具有良好的建构效度。在泰国,FTHUE-泰国版可以作为脑卒中患者UE功能的可靠测量工具。
