Clinical Trial Summary

Impaired motor function is common after stroke. Individuals with stroke often exhibit synergic pattern that disturb daily function. It is crucial to identify the movement impairment in the clinical settings. Upright Motor Control Test (UMCT) is one of the tests developed to assess the selective movement control and functional strength in people with central nervous disorders. It can be used to reflect the impairment of motor function and evaluate changes of performance after treatment. Yet is little to know the clinimetrics of the UMCT on clinical utility. To date, only few researches explore that UMCT has some construct and criterion validity.

Therefore, this study aims to 1) establish the inter-rater reliability to administer the UMCT. 2) explore the correlation between the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Recovery after Stroke (FMA) and UMCT. 3). investigate whether the UMCT is able to predict the walking ability in patients with stroke.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	10 Meter Walk Test	Test the time required to complete 10 meters of walking.	1, 3, 6, and 12 month
Other	6-Minutes-Waking-Test	Record the distance in six-minute walking.	1, 3, 6, and 12 month
Other	Berg Balance Scale	score: 0-56; lower score means higher risk of fall.	1, 3, 6, and 12 month
Other	Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Measure	UE: 0-20; LE: 0-20: Mobility: 0-30; higher score indicated better motor function.	1, 3, 6, and 12 month
Primary	Upright Motor Control Test	6-18; higher score means better isolated joint control.	1 month
Secondary	Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Recovery after Stroke	UE scale:0-66; LE scale:0-34; higher score means better motor function.	1 month
