■ Paper- Objective: To develop an official translation of the original Fugl-Meyer Assessment of upper and lower extremity sensorimotor function into Japanese by following a standardized cross-cultural adaptation process to ensure conceptual, linguistic, and semantic validity.Design: Cross-cultural translation/validation.Subjects/Patients: Seven Japanese clinical experts and an external expert developed the translation. The pilot study included 10 participants with stroke.Methods: Following the Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Objectively Assessed Outcome Measures, the Fugl-Meyer Assessment was forward and backward translated and reviewed by an expert group and an external expert familiar with the original scale. The translation was tested in a pilot study with 10 patients with hemiparetic stroke to identify problematic items in intra- and inter-rater agreements.Results: Sufficient intra- and inter-rater agreements (> 70% agreement) were reached for all items, and only 2 sensation items showed systematic disagreement. These results were incorporated to refine the translation and ensure conceptual, semantic, and linguistic equivalence with the original Fugl–Meyer Assessment.Conclusion: The culturally validated upper and lower extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment supports the Japanese rehabilitation field and promotes international collaboration by improving the unified assessment of sensorimotor function in individuals with stroke.MJS Publishing, Medical Journals Sweden AB, Aug. 2025, Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 57, jrm43350Scientific journal

- 【目的】慢性閉塞性肺疾患（以下COPD）の併存症に高次脳機能障害があり，前頭葉機能低下が指摘されているが，その患者特性は明らかになっていない．そこで本研究では，COPD患者の前頭葉機能と運動耐容能の関連について検討を行った． 【方法】6分間歩行距離（以下6MWD）により，COPD患者を運動耐容能維持群と運動耐容能低下群の2群に分け，Mann-Whitney U検定で前頭葉機能検査（以下FAB）合計点を比較した．二次解析として重回帰分析とROC解析を行い，交絡因子の調整と前頭葉機能低下に対する6MWDのカットオフ値を算出した． 【結果】FAB合計点は，運動耐容能低下群で有意に低値を示した（p＝.009）．また年齢と％FEV1を共変量に加えても，FAB合計点に対し，6MWDの有意な正の回帰係数が認められた（β＝0.42, p＝.028）．加えてROC解析から6MWD：284mが前頭葉機能低下のカットオフ値として算出された． 【結語】COPDにおいて運動耐容能低下は前頭葉機能低下と関連することが示唆された．The Japan Society for Respiratory Care and Rehabilitation, Dec. 2022, The Journal of the Japan Society for Respiratory Care and Rehabilitation, 31(1) (1), 122 - 128, Japanese[Refereed]
