The objective of this study is to evaluate the relative reliability and construct validity of the Associated Reaction Assessment Scale (ARAS) developed for patients with post-stroke hemiparesis. Multiple regression analysis will be used to examine the relationships between ARAS scores and established clinical measures, including motor function (Fugl-Meyer Assessment: FMA), spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale: MAS), and neurological severity (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: NIHSS), to determine whether ARAS is a clinically useful tool for objective and practical assessment.
Efficacy
Scores of the Associated Reaction Assessment Scale (ARAS)
Correlation with motor function (Fugl-Meyer Assessment)
Correlation with spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale)
Correlation with neurological severity (NIH Stroke Scale)
These relationships will be analyzed using multiple regression analysis.

This is an observational study aimed at evaluating the construct validity and relative reliability of the Associated Reaction Assessment Scale (ARAS), a newly developed assessment tool. The participants are patients with post-stroke hemiparesis. The ARAS assesses associated reactions in the paretic upper limb during a maximal voluntary movement of the non-paretic lower limb in the supine position, using a 5-point ordinal scale. Relationships between ARAS scores and clinical measures such as the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), and NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) will be examined using multiple regression analysis.
