Lower extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment
Fugl-Meyer Assessment uses to examine the motor function and coordination of affected lower extremity. It includes 17 items of a 3-point ordinal scale, ranging 0-34, with higher scores indicating lower impairment.
Time frame: baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline
Functional Ambulation Category
Functional Ambulation Category is used to assess gait ability with 6 levels ranging from 0 to 5 on the basis of the amount of physical support required, regardless of use of an assistive device
Time frame: baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline
10m walk test
10m walk test is used to examine gait speed, in which participant was asked to walk on a 14 meter of walkway wearing harness with two conditions; with the fastest speed or with self-selected comfortable speed.
Time frame: baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline
timed up and go test
simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance
Time frame: baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline
