Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to estimate the Minimal Important Change (MIC) of the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) in subacute stroke patients undergoing inpatient rehabilitation, in accordance with the COSMIN guidelines. By clarifying the MIC, this study seeks to add a patient- and clinician-meaningful perspective to the interpretation of ARAT scores, thereby providing a foundation for more appropriate treatment selection in subacute stroke rehabilitation

Other related information

Estimation of MIC: The Global Rating of Change (GROC) was used as an anchor. Based on the GROC scores, participants were classified into two groups: those with scores below 5 were defined as the no meaningful change group, and those with scores of 6 or higher were defined as the meaningful change group. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was then conducted using ARAT scores in JMP to estimate the MIC.
