Scoring system is crucial in evaluating a patient’s stroke severity and monitoring their recovery progress. The current manual and subjective approach heavily relies on the individual expertise of therapists, resulting in inconsistent scores and an increased burden on the therapist’s expertise resulting in inconsistent scores and increased burden on the therapist’s workload. This pilot study automate and refine the scoring methodology utiised for matient’s assessment. This study focuses on Motor Activity Log (MAL), a widely acknowledged standard clinical assessment that incorporates the evaluation of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in stroke patients. Data are collected from 30 healthy individuals and 30 stroke patients. Two statistical analyses using one-way ANOVA are performed to check the data characteristics and assess the effectiveness of the MAL in this context. The analysis results indicated two scores that did not show significant differences, specifically 0.328 for the Rotation X parameter in the DoorKnob activity and 0.587 for the Time parameter in the Water Faucet activity. This demonstrates that this test method can effectively differentiate between each stroke patient. This initiative represents a significant step towards establishing a more standardised and objective scoring system, contributing to a more consistent and efficient evaluation of stroke patients' performance characteristics and recovery trajectories.
