RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to estimate the internal and external responsiveness of the Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke (RPSS) in individuals with stroke. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of data from 4 randomized controlled trials. SETTING: Recruitment locations spanning rehabilitation centers and hospitals in Canada, Italy, Argentina, Peru, and Thailand. PARTICIPANTS: Data from 567 participants (acute to chronic stroke; N=567) were available. INTERVENTIONS: All 4 studies involved training using virtual reality for upper limb rehabilitation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: RPSS and upper extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA-UE) scores. Responsiveness was quantified for all data and across different stages of stroke. Internal responsiveness of the RPSS was quantified as effect-sizes calculated using post and preintervention change data. External responsiveness was quantified using orthogonal regressions between FMA-UE and RPSS scores. The area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC) was quantified based on the ability of RPSS scores to detect change above FMA-UE minimal clinically important different values across different stages of stroke. RESULTS: The RPSS had high internal responsiveness overall and across the acute or subacute and chronic stages of stroke. For external responsiveness, orthogonal regression analyses indicated that change in FMA-UE scores had positive moderate correlations with both RPSS Close and Far Target scores for all data and across the acute or subacute and chronic stages of stroke (0.6Assuntos
