Intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Italian Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper and lower extremity
CONCLUSIONS: The Italian version of the FMA showed to be a reliable instrument that can therefore be recommended for clinical and research purposes.Implications for rehabilitationThe FMA is the gold standard for assessing stroke patients' sensorimotor impairment worldwide.The Italian Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) is substantially reliable within and between two raters at the item, subtotal, and total score level in patients with sub-acute stroke.The use of FMA in the Italian context will provide an opportunity for international comparisons and research collaborations.PMID:36...

Transcultural translation and validation of Fugl-Meyer assessment to Italian.
Conclusions: The culturally validated Italian Fugl-Meyer Assessment can reliably be used in research and in clinical practice. A standardized use will improve the quality of sensorimotor assessment in stroke across Italy and allow reliable comparisons of stroke populations internationally.Implications for rehabilitationThe Fugl-Meyer Assessment is the gold standard for evaluation of sensorimotor impairment after stroke.Having access to a transculturally validated official Italian version of Fugl-Meyer Assessment will improve the quality of sensorimotor assessment after stroke among Italian health professionals and research...

Development of the Italian version of the trunk impairment scale in subjects with acute and chronic stroke. Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, validity and responsiveness.
CONCLUSION: The Trunk Impairment Scale was successfully translated into Italian and proved to be reliable, valid, and responsive. Its use is recommended for clinical and research purposes. Implications for Rehabilitation Trunk control is an essential part of balance and postural control, constituting an important prerequisite for daily activities and function. The TIS administered in subjects with subacute and chronic stroke was reliable, valid and responsive. The TIS is expected to help clinicians and researchers by identifying key functional processes related to disability in people with subacute and chronic stroke. ...

Italian adaptation of the functional outcome questionnaire - aphasia: initial psychometric evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall findings of this study supported the reliability and construct validity of the Italian version of the Functional Outcome Questionnaire - Aphasia. This measure holds considerable promise in assessing the functional outcomes of aphasia rehabilitation in Italian-speaking persons with aphasia. Implications for Rehabilitation Functional Outcome Questionnaire - Aphasia is a reliable and valid questionnaire in assessing functional communication of Italian-speaking people with aphasia. This measure provides critical information about people with aphasia's functional and pragmatic communication in home and ...

Rehabilitation Complexity Scale: Italian translation and transcultural validation.
CONCLUSIONS: The Italian version RCS-E has been successfully validated, showing good psychometric properties, which partly reproduce the results obtained for the original version. However, some assumption was made for some items thus preventing possible comparison with other countries. Implications for Rehabilitation Admittance at an Intensive Rehabilitation care setting in Italy requires to evaluate the complexity of rehabilitation needs. The Rehabilitation Complexity Scale (RCS-E) has proved to be reliable for assessing clinical complexity and consequently for planning rehabilitation needs. The Italian version of RCS-E h...
