    The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between peak torque and electromechanical delay (EMD, a delay between the onset of electrical activity and measurable muscle torque). The subjects were 17 male and 11 female college students (average age was 20.4 years). Peak torque under concentric and eccentric contractions of the knee extensor and flexor muscles and EMD were measured by a KIN-COM isokinetic dynamometer and electromyographic activities sensed by surface electrodes. Peak troque under eccentric contraction was greater than concentric one in both the extensors and flexors. EMD was significantly delayed in the extensors under both contractions. The peak torque had no relationship with EMD under both contraction types.

    The reliability and validity of various items of the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (SIAS) was examined, including affected-side motor function, muscle tone, deep tendon reflexes, and unaffected-side function.
    The weighted κ value, which is an index of interrater reproducibility, was more than 0.854 for affectedside motor function and more than 0.500 for the other items. Rank correlation coefficients in comparison with other evaluation methods were more than 0.710 for affected-side motor function, more than 0.948 for muscle tone, and more than 0.851 for deep tendon reflexes. Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that gait speed was explained with a coefficient of determination of 56.3% by these SIAS items, and locomotion-ADL was 62.4% explained.
    These results indicated that the SIAS items examined had a high reliability and validity.

    Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (SIAS) is presented as new evaluation instrument for stroke patients. The kappa value as an index of interrater reliability ranged from 0.30 to 0.87 in 46 stroke patients. The abdominal MMT item, which can be performed without patients being supine, was correlated to the Daniels' abdominal MMT (r=0.67). The visuo-spatial deficit item and speech item significantly correlated to cognitive items of the FIM. After including the SIAS items in the regression equation predicting the discharge motor items of the FIM, the square of the regression coefficient changed from 0.56 to 0.60. In conclusion, the SIAS is a reliable and valid instrument and useful to functional outcome prediction.
