In a preliminary study a group of hemiplegic patients have been assessed for return of arm function for periods up to 64 weeks after stroke. The assessment procedure employs a few simple and easily performed tests which take into account principles of the central nervous control of movement. The tests are highly repeatable and can be carried out by staff untrained in medicine or any form of physical therapy. Patients have been divided into two groups on the basis of the scores obtained in the tests at 16 weeks after stroke. The group scoring 80% or more are very likely subsequently to recover useful function of the arm and hand. The group of patients scoring less than 80% at 16 weeks after stroke are likely subsequently to recover limited arm movements and little hand movement. The preliminary results would suggest that the tasks provide a guide to prognosis and an indiction of the most suitable type of general physical therapy.
在一项初步研究中，对一组偏瘫患者在中风后长达64周的时间里进行了手臂功能恢复情况的评估。评估程序采用了一些简单且易于执行的测试，这些测试考虑了运动的中枢神经控制原理。这些测试具有高度可重复性，并且可以由未接受过医学培训或任何形式物理治疗培训的工作人员进行。根据中风后16周测试所得分数，患者被分为两组。得分80%及以上的组随后很可能恢复手臂和手部的有用功能。中风后16周得分低于80%的患者组随后可能恢复有限的手臂运动且手部运动很少。初步结果表明，这些测试任务可为预后提供指导，并指示最适合的一般物理治疗类型。
