(16) Data from a clinical trial of 167 stroke patients assessed shortly after admission to the hospital and 5 weeks later provided information on clinical, motor, and functional outcomes measured using a neurologic status scale, a stroke severity scale, the Fugl-Meyer Scale, the Barthel Index, and the activities of daily living and cognition subscales of the Level of Rehabilitation Scale.
(17) A new chart for motor capacity assessment, which includes both the paretic and the non-paretic side, modified after that of Fugl-Meyer et al, was tested for its reliability and validity.
(18) Overall, no evidence was found of a significant univariate association between admission blood glucose level and survival (relative risk, 1.02; 95% Cl, 0.94 to 1.09) or functional outcome (univariate regression coefficient for adjusted Fugl-Meyer score at day 30, - 0.36; Cl, - 1.08 to 0.27).
(19) We conclude that (1) both the ramp and hold threshold measurements and pendulum test offer acceptable objective measures of spastic hypertonia since they correlate closely with clinical perception, (2) the Fugl-Meyer motor assessment scale also correlates closely with the severity of spastic tone, and (3) objective measures of spastic hypertonia are often surprisingly reproducible when repeatedly applied to a selected group of chronic hemiplegic patients with long-standing spasticity.
