title: Interrater reliability of the TEMPA for the measurement of upper limb function in adults with traumatic brain injury.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the interrater reliability of the TEMPA in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty adults with upper limb dysfunction after TBI who were participating in inpatient rehabilitation.
  
  
  METHODS
  The TEMPA assessment was videotaped for each participant and 5 physical therapists independently rated these video recordings.
  
  
  METHODS
  Functional rating and speed of execution for each item of the TEMPA.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for the speed of execution and functional rating components of the TEMPA ranged from 0.898 to 1.000.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The excellent interrater reliability supports the use of the TEMPA in adults with TBI.
