NCT ID: NCT00173810 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cerebrovascular Accidents

Development of a Refined Version of the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Scale for Stroke Patients

Start date: August 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

We will employ modern test theory (i.e., Rasch model) to refine the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement instrument (STREAM), which will be called the refined version of the STREAM, R-STREAM).

NCT ID: NCT00173797 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cerebrovascular Accidents

Comparison of Psychometric Properties of Three Depression Measures in Patients With Stroke

Start date: August 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study is going to comprehensively examine the psychometric properties of the three depression scales (Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)) in stroke patients over a period of three years.

NCT ID: NCT00173771 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cerebrovascular Accidents

Development of a Comprehensive ADL Scale for Stroke Patients

Start date: August 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

our research team will develop a new CADL scale for stroke patients over the next three years. In the first year, we had established a CADL item bank of 50 items. The investigators will administer the 50 items on 300 patients with stroke living in the community. Then we will select 10 to 15 items from the item bank for the CADL scale based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the opinions of an expert panel, and Rasch analysis. It is anticipated that the CADL scale will have unidimensionality, an interval level of measurement, soundly psychometric characteristics, a reduced number of items, and ease of administration. In the second and third years, we will compare the psychometric properties of the CADL scale and the combined BI and FAI scale. The psychometric properties investigated will include reliability (e.g. inter-rater reliability, intra-rater reliability, and internal consistency), validity (e.g. concurrent validity, convergent validity, predictive validity and discriminant validity), and responsiveness. A total of 150 patients will be recruited. Both the CADL scale and the combined BI and FAI scale will be used on patients from the initial stage (within one month) to six months after hospital discharge. The results will be useful for researchers and clinicians to determine whether the CADL scale is better than the combined BI and FAI scale in stroke patients.
