Abstract

Objective To evaluate the concurrent validity of Chinese version of Action Research Arm Test (C-ARAT) in patients with first early cerebral infarction. Methods From August, 2015 to December, 2018, 90 inpatients with first early cerebral infarction in the department of rehabilitation medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University were enrolled. They were evaluated with C-ARAT and Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE). Concurrent validity was determined using Spearman's rank correlation coefficients (ρ). Results C-ARAT and subscales generally exhibited good-to-excellent correlations with FMA-UE (ρ > 0.75, P ? 0.001). Conclusion At early stage of first cerebral infarction, C-ARAT demonstrated good-to-excellent concurrent validity.
