電腦螢幕觸控式上肢訓練系統活動項目與中風患者上肢功能表現之相關性研究

Abstract

Because of progress made in human-machine interfaces, touchscreens increasingly play a key role in daily living. A task-oriented concept combined with a computerized touchscreen training system was developed and used to facilitate upper limb rehabilitation after stroke. However, the reliability and validity of the activity items within the system required further verification. Therefore, the aims of this study were 1) to examine the reliability of scores for the activity items when patients with stroke used this device and 2) to verify criterion-related validity by analyzing the relationship between scores from this device and other standard upper limb functional assessments. Thirty eligible patients with stroke participated in this study. Using a computer-generated random order, participants were randomly assigned to complete four clinical standard upper limb functional assessments: the action research arm test, Fugl-Meyer assessment, box and block test, and hand grip strength test. Thereafter, participants were asked to perform 10 built-in activity items by using the touchscreen system for the upper limbs. Results indicated that the scores for the 10 items had high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.87). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) ranged from 0.76 to 0.96, indicating high test-retest reliability. The criterion-related validity showed a moderate to high correlation between scores from this device and the four standard upper limb functional assessments. The results of this study indicated that this computerized touchscreen training system was reliable and could detect upper limb function performance in patients with stroke.
