Validation of a New Lower-Extremity Motor Coordination Test

摘要: Abstract Desrosiers J, Rochette A, Corriveau H. Validation of a new lower-extremity motor coordination test. Objective To determine the test-retest reliability and construct validity test, Lower Extremity MOtor COordination Test (LEMOCOT). Design test reliability, subjects with impairments in at least 1 lower extremity were evaluated twice by same evaluator. validity, LEMOCOT scores obtained from who had stroke correlated physical, functional, cognitive, perceptual tests. Setting Geriatric day hospital functional intensive rehabilitation unit. Participants In 29 people (mean age, 69.6y; range, 28–87y); 144 recently stroke. Intervention Not applicable. Main outcome measures addition to LEMOCOT, following used for validity: Fugl-Meyer Assessment (motor function), Berg Balance Scale, 5-m walking 2-minute Functional Autonomy Measurement System, Modified Mini-Mental State Examination, Motor-Free Visual Perceptual Test. Results Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) indicated that is good (right-side ICC=.88; left-side ICC=.83). The was demonstrated obtaining high correlations physical tests ( r .62–.79; P =.11, =.20) or visual =.15, =.08) discriminating between discharged long-term care versus other living environments Conclusions simple showed validity. It can be clinical research settings, specifically have Other studies should carried out confirm its psychometric properties.
