Objective : To verify the reliability and validity of Korean Wolf Motor Function Test(K-WMFT) for the evaluation of the function of upper extremity.
Methods : WMFT was translated into Korean by occupational therapist and physiatrists. Twenty patients with stroke were evaluated through K-WMFT by the occupational therapist. The reevaluation was assessed for the intrapersonal reliability by the same occupational therapist through the recorded videotape. Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA) was used to verify the validity of K-WMFT.
Results : 1) Pearson’s correlation coefficiency between the performance time of K-WMFT and FMA was -0.80 and coefficiency between the functional ability scale of K-WMFT and FMA was 0.94(p<0.001). 2) Cronbach’s alpha coefficiency of the performance time of K-WMFT was 0.92 and that of the functional ability scale of K-WMFT was 0.96.
Conclusion : The reliability and validity of K-WMFT were verified. K-WMFT can be used to evaluate the function of upper extremity for the patients with stroke in Korea.
