Abstract:
To improve upper-limb function in children with cerebral palsy (CP), adequate assessment tools are essential for rehabilitation; however, there have been very few assessment tools with acceptable validity and reliability for use in Japan to date. The aim of this study was to describe the process of translating the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST) into Japanese and to examine its psychometric properties. The QUEST was translated using a forward-backward method. Sixty-one children aged 2-18 years with a diagnosis of CP underwent assessment, with video-based reliability assessments conducted for 38 of them. The intra-class correlation coefficients were 0.94 for inter-rater reliability and 0.97 for intra-rater reliability. The total score showed a strong correlation with the Manual Ability Classification System (ρ = -0.65). A questionnaire of experts showed generally good content validity. The Japanese version of the QUEST was found to be both valid and reliable.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
Quality Assurance
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Assessment of blood pressure in brachial artery(one-step method)
Prepare for the Procedure:
Assessment of blood pressure in brachial artery(two-step method)
Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles
Introduction
The initial evaluation of a patient's respiratory system...
