Brief 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.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Upright Motor Control Test	1 month	6-18; higher score means better isolated joint control.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Recovery after Stroke	1 month	UE scale:0-66; LE scale:0-34; higher score means better motor function.

Other

Measure	Time frame	Description
10 Meter Walk Test	1, 3, 6, and 12 month	Test the time required to complete 10 meters of walking.
6-Minutes-Waking-Test	1, 3, 6, and 12 month	Record the distance in six-minute walking.
Berg Balance Scale	1, 3, 6, and 12 month	score: 0-56; lower score means higher risk of fall.
Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement Measure	1, 3, 6, and 12 month	UE: 0-20; LE: 0-20: Mobility: 0-30; higher score indicated better motor function.
