Establishing of the Reliability of the Purdue Pegboard Test in Adults After a Stroke

The main aim of the pilot project is to establish inter-rater reliability, internal variability and variability of results got by testing adults patients after a stroke by the use of Purdue Pegboard Test administered according to the new Czech extended version of its manual.

Study Overview

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Conditions: Motor Activity
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: Purdue Pegboard Test

Detailed Description

New Czech manual for the Purdue Pegboard Test which is updated and extended by new rules for unification of their performing will be used for testing adult people with disability - adults after a stroke. The manuals include instructions for performing three trials of each subtest.

At least 30 adult patients after a stroke will be tested by use of Purdue Pegboard test administrated according to the new Czech extended version of its manual. Video of performance of each adult will be obtained. Performance of each patient, firstly in real time and secondly from video record will be evaluated twice, to obtain result for establishing all types of variability and reliability mentioned below.

The inter-rater reliability, internal variability and variability of results will be established.

• Study Type: Observational
• Enrollment (Actual): 31

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Intervention / Treatment

Czech adult patients after a stroke; Czech adults patients after a stroke will be asked to fill in a informed agreement and as well to answer short questionnaire. Then they will be tested by the Purdue Pegboard Test in only one session. Video of their performance will be obtained as well.

Diagnostic test: Purdue Pegboard Test; At first, each person will be asked to fill in the informed agreement and answer short questionnaire. Than he/she will be tested by the Purdue Pegboard Test according to the Czech version of extended manuals for those tests in only one session. Audio recording of verbal instructions will be used and whole testing process will be video recorded which is necessary for establishing the internal variability and variability of results of the Purdue Pegboard Test. The results will be used only for establishing of the variability and inter-rater reliability of the Purdue Pegboard Test, not for patients' other interventions.; Other Names: questionnaire
