Mar 1, 2016 · Key Descriptions. 4 items: 1) Rolling to weak side. 2) Rolling to strong side. 3) Balance in sitting position. 4) Sit up from lying down. Total score range: 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum, indicating better performance). Score of each item: (0, 12 or 25) 0 = unable to perform movement without assistance.
The Trunk Control Test (TCT) is used to assess trunk movements in patients that have suffered from a neurological disorder (i.e stroke). The test is preformed on a bed and is divided into 4 tasks: rolling to weak side, rolling to strong side, balance in sitting position on the edge of the bed with the feet off the ground for at least 30 seconds ...
The objective of the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo) is to provide a detailed assessment of trunk control, identifying: The highest segmental level at which intervention must be targeted. And the optimal level of support needed by the individual.
The Trunk Control Test is a test battery to use with stroke patients and assess motor impairment, balance, coordination. Articles: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17613559 Visit our Website: http...
The Trunk Control Test for Motor Impairment After Stroke. Overview: The Trunk Control Test can be used to assess the motor impairment in a patient who has had a stroke. It correlates with eventual walking ability. Testing done by patient lying on bed: roll to weak side. roll to strong side.
Jul 1, 1997 · In patients with recent hemiparesis, trunk movement control is an indispensable basic motor ability for the execution of many functional tasks. 1 The value of an early assessment of sitting balance in predicting the functional outcome of stroke patients has been pointed out in recent studies. 2 3 4 However, the data from these three studies deal...
The Trunk Control Test (TCT) consists of 4 different tasks from easy to difficult. Each task is scored with 0 (not able to complete task without assistance), 12 (able to complete task using non-muscular help, performed in an abnormal style or hands are needed while sitting) or 25 points (able to complete task normally)
Sep 5, 2012 · Trunk impairment scale is sensitive to evaluate the selective muscle control of upper and lower trunk, and it has been reported that lateral flexion of the trunk is easier than rotation of the trunk and the clinical observation concurs to the difficulty in lower trunk rotation of stroke patients.
Jun 17, 2021 · Collin and Wade developed the Trunk Control Test (TCT) to assess the trunk function in patients with stroke. Franchignoni et al. ( 14 ) reported that using the TCT score at admission as one of the predictors better explains the FIM score at discharge than the FIM score at admission alone.
Background: It is important to evaluate trunk control, given that it is one of the indicators of adequate functional and motor recovery in patients following a stroke. The assessment should be feasible and adequate in clinical conditions in the acute phase.
