Abstract

Purpose: In this study, we compared Tablet PC-based cognitive assessment tools with MMSE-K and MoCA-K for people with cerebrovascular disease to examine their validity and test-retest reliability. Method: The study was conducted from June 18, 2018 to September 16, 2018, and covered 67 subacute stroke patients who were admitted to the Ulsan-based General Hospital and are receiving occupational therapy. The assessment used MMSE-K, MoCA-K, and Tablet PC-based cognitive assessment tools. The validity and confidence of the test-retest were verified through a Pearson's correlation. Result: The results of the validity analysis show that the correlation coefficient between the Tablet PC-based cognitive assessment tool and MMSE-K was r = .85, The correlation coefficient for MoCA-K was r = .86, which is highly feasible. The reliability was verified with r = .97. Conclusion: Through this study, we were able to verify the validity and reliability of Tablet PC-based cognitive assessment tools. Therefore, it is expected that such tools will be available for clinical use as a cognitive assessment approach.
