Reliability of Longshi Scale With Remote Assessment

Reliability of Longshi Scale With Remote Assessment of Smartphone Video Calls for Stroke Patients'Activities of Daily Living

To explore the reliability of remote Longshi Scale assessment with smartphone video calls by comparing the consistency of remote assessment and bedside assessment, as well as the test-retest reliability of the remote assessment. The evaluation duration of these two methods was recorded and the level of satisfaction of patients and evaluators was investigated.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Consistency of the disability degree evaluated using the remote assessment and the bedside assessment of Longshi Scale.	Weighted kappa(wK) and Bland-Altman were used to determined the consistency between the results of remote assessment method and bedside assessment method. The interpretation of wK scores was in accordance with published standards (values>0.75 indicating excellent agreement beyond chance; 0.4~0.75, moderate agreement beyond chance; <0.4, poor agreement beyond chance).	Within 24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
The test-retest reliability of the remote video assessment	the result of remote assessment test-retest was analyzed by Weighted kappa(wK) scores.The interpretation of wK scores was in accordance with published standards (values>0.75 indicating excellent agreement beyond chance; 0.4~0.75, moderate agreement beyond chance; <0.4, poor agreement beyond chance).	Within 24 hours after first evaluation
Satisfaction survey of remote assessment	The satisfaction survey data were summarized as mean±standard deviation, and also summarized as the percentage of satisfaction categories.	Within 24 hours after the remote assessment
Assessment duration	The assessment duration was analyzed by independent t-test.	Within 24 hours
