Abstract	[Purpose] We aimed to identify the relationship among trunk control, activities of dailyliving, and upper extremity function during the first week after stroke in patients withacute cerebral infarction. [Participants and Methods] Ninety-five patients with firstcerebral infarction were included. Trunk control was assessed using the PosturalAssessment Scale for Stroke. Additionally, activities of daily living were evaluated usingthe Functional Independence Measure, and upper extremity function was assessed using theupper extremity component of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment. Correlation analysis was performedto examine the relationships among these three measures. Furthermore, stepwise multipleregression analysis was performed to investigate the factors affecting activities of dailyliving. [Results] The total score and two subcategories of the Postural Assessment Scalefor Stroke were significantly correlated with the Functional Independence Measure motorvalues. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed age and the Postural AssessmentScale for Stroke as factors influencing the Functional Independence Measure. Moreover, thePostural Assessment Scale for Stroke and upper extremity component of Fugl-MeyerAssessment showed a high correlation. [Conclusion] The trunk control ability assessedusing the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke is strongly correlated with activities ofdaily living estimated using the Functional Independence Measure in the first week afterstroke in patients with acute cerebral infarction. The upper extremity component ofFugl-Meyer Assessment was not identified as a factor affecting the Functional IndependenceMeasure.
