Abstract

Introduction: STROKE is one of the most common life-threatening neurologic disorders and is among the most important causes of disability in adult life. Unilateral upper-limb motor impairment is one of the main causes of dependence in the activities of daily living. Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) and Fugl-Meyer Test (upper limb section) evaluate upper-limb motor performance in hemiplegic patients. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the INTER-RATER RELIABILITY of these two tests.Materials and methods: In this reliability analysis study, 20 patients with CVA, who ranged in age from 40 to 65 years, were selected form occupational therapy clinics and rehabilitation centers of Qazvin, Iran. Convenience sampling method was used in recruiting the subjects. The participants were tested by two occupational therapists in one session. The obtained data was statistically analyzed via ICC test using SPSS-18. The level of significance was set at a=0.05Results: The ICC INTER-RATER RELIABILITY coefficients of 0.972 (ARAT) and 0.977 (FMT) (p<0.05) were found.Conclusion: ARAT and Fugl-Meyer Test have acceptable inter-rater reliabilities that make them suitable for being used in CVA patients.
