Objective
[edit | edit source]
The Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) is used to assess everyday motor function in patients with stroke.
Intended Population
[edit | edit source]
Used widely in assessing functional ability for patients with stroke
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
Description:
- 8 items assess 8 areas of motor function
- Patients perform each task 3 times, only the best performance is recorded
- Items (with the exception of the general tonus item*) are assessed using a 7-point scale (0 to 6)
- A score of 6 indicates optimal motor behavior
- Item scores (with the exception of the general tonus item) are summed to provide an overall score (out of 48 points)
- Completing a higher-level item suggests successful performance on lower-level items and thus lower-items can be skipped.
- For the general tonus item, the score is based on continuous observations throughout the assessment. A score of 4 on this item indicates a consistently normal response, a score > 4 indicates persistent hypertonus, and a score < 4 indicates various degrees of hypotonus (Carr et al, 1985[1]).
Equipment Required:
Stopwatch
8 Jellybeans
Polystyrene cup
Rubber ball
Stool
Comb
Spoon
Pen
2 Tea cups
Water
Prepared sheet for drawing lines
Cylindrical shaped object like a jar

Reliability[edit | edit source]
Test-retest Reliability:
Chronic Stroke:
(Carr et al, 1985; n = 15; mean age = 70 years, range = 42 to 85) [2]
- Excellent test-retest reliability: r ranged from 0.87 to 1.00 (mean r = 0.98)
Interrater/Intrarater Reliability:
Chronic & Acute Stroke:
(Carr et al, 1985; 20 clinical raters; n = 5; mean age = 65 years, range = 55 to 78; mean time since stroke onset = 14 (range = 6 to 40) weeks) [3]
- Excellent Interrater Reliability; 87% overall agreement between raters (mean correlation r = 0.95; most agreement = balanced sitting (r = 0.99); least agreement = sitting to standing (r = 0.89).
