Abstract
Background: Assessment of stroke patients during the acute stage is an important step for effective planning and intervention. Modified Rivermead Mobility Index is interesting and is effective for evaluating acute stroke patients. However, this assessment has not yet been translated into Thai language. Therefore, the researchers were interested in translating it into Thai language, to perform cross-cultural adaptation, and test reliability.
Objective: To translate the modified Rivermead Mobility Index assessment into Thai language, cross-cultural adaptation and test its intra- and inter-rater reliability.
Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, divided into 2 main steps as follows: 1. Translating the modified Rivermead Mobility Index into the Thai version with cross-cultural adaptation. 2. Testing reliability of the modified Rivermead Mobility Index Thai version in the group of stroke patients who received treatment at the stroke ward (Stroke Unit), Saraburi Hospital, from March to April 2024, a total of 11 patients were tested twice within 1 week apart.
Results: The intra-rater reliability of the modified Rivermead Mobility Index Thai version was at the excellent level, with an ICC (3,1) value between 0.99 and 1.00, confidence interval (95% CI = 0.95-1.00). The inter-rater reliability was also at the excellent level with an ICC value (2,1) at 0.94 (95% CI = 0.76-0.98).
Conclusion: The modified Rivermead Mobility Index Thai version demonstrated excellent intra-rater and inter-rater reliability in patients with acute stroke.
