The value of strength of voluntary grip as an indicator of recovery of arm function was assessed by testing 38 recent stroke patients using a sensitive electronic dynamometer, and comparing the results with those from five other arm movement and function tests (Motricity Index, Motor Club Assessment, Nine Hole Peg Test, and Frenchay Arm Test). This procedure allowed measurement of grip in a large proportion of patients, and strength correlated highly with performance on the other tests. Measuring grip over a six month follow up period was a sensitive method of charting intrinsic neurological recovery. The presence of voluntary grip at one month indicates that there will be some functional recovery at six months.
通过使用灵敏的电子测力计对38例近期中风患者进行测试,并将结果与其他五项手臂运动和功能测试(运动能力指数、运动俱乐部评估、九孔插板试验和弗伦奇手臂试验)的结果进行比较,评估了自愿握力强度作为手臂功能恢复指标的价值。该程序能够测量大部分患者的握力,且握力与其他测试的表现高度相关。在六个月的随访期内测量握力是描绘内在神经恢复情况的一种灵敏方法。在一个月时存在自愿握力表明在六个月时将有一定的功能恢复。
