Abstract
Background
Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide. The most common impairment resulting from stroke is upper-limb weakness.
Objectives
To determine the usefulness and psychometric validity of the upper-limb subscale of the STREAM in an acute stroke population.
Methods
Rasch Analysis, including unidimensionality assumption testing, determining model fit, and analysis of: reliability, residual correlations, and differential item functioning.
Results
125 individuals were assessed using the upper-limb subscale of the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) tool. Rasch analysis suggests the STREAM is a unidimensional measure. However, when scored using the originally proposed method (0–2), or using the response pattern (0–5) neither variant fit the Rasch model (p < 0.05). Although, the reliability was good (Person-Separation Index – 0.847 and 0.903, respectively). Correcting for the disordered thresholds, and thereby producing the new scoring pattern, led to substantial improvement in the overall fit (chi-square probability of fit – 22%), however, the reliability was slightly reduced (PSI – 0.806).
Conclusions
The study proposes a new scoring method for the upper-limb subscale of the STREAM outcome measure in the acute stroke population.
