AB - Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between the functional score of a Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and the Modified Bathel Index (MBI), and to verify the differences in the activities of daily living according to the WMFT functional score.
Methods : The subjects of this study were 100 stroke patients who have been treated for physical function improvement in a rehabilitation hospital located in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do. The subjects were evaluated through WMFT and MBI. We compared the subjects’WMFT functional scores for their affected upper extremities,as well as the total and individual MBI scores.
Results : Except for feeding, the WFMT scores had a high correlation with activities of daily living (bathing,personal hygiene, using the toilet) that require upper extremity movement and fine motor skills of the hand.
Conclusion : An exact evaluation and objective goal setting based on an evaluation of the affected upper extremities are important in stroke patients for functional recovery and an improvement in their independence regarding their activities of daily living performance. Therefore, further studies are needed to enhance the validity of the WMFT.
