Stroke ICF Core Element Scale and Stroke Common Functional Scale: Association Studies by Qiao JIN, Xiaoyan YANG, Qijing REN

“…Objective:To investigate the correlation between Stroke ICF Core Element Scale and Stroke Common Functional Scale.Methods:Using Stroke ICF Core Element Scale, Fugl-Meyer Scale, Modified Barthel Index (MBI) to assess 50 cases of stroke patients, performing the correlation test with <italic>Pearson</italic> coefficient, <italic>Kappa</italic> value and <italic>Cronbach</italic> alpha coefficient to evaluate the validity, reliability and content consistency of the ICF Scale.Results:The <italic>Kappa</italic> values were between 0.676-0.958 (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.001), with a good test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability, the evaluation outcomes of two raters had a better consistency; <italic>Cronbach</italic> alpha coefficient had a good consistency in body functions, activities, participation and the environmental factors. There was a negative correlation between MBI and the physical function, Fugl-Meyer, activity participation in ICF Core Element Scale.Conclusion:The ICF Core Elements Scale has a certain reliability and validity, which can reflect the function of body movement and the ability of daily life in stroke patients.…”
