Integrated Structural Analysis of Trunk Function Assessment After Stroke- New Evaluation Model Based on Multiscale Factor Analysis and Rasch Analysis

Key Points

• Outcome assessment of trunk function post-stroke was enhanced by a new evaluation model, addressing current assessment gaps.
• The analysis showed a significant correlation with established measures, improving evaluation accuracy for 120 stroke patients.
• Methodology involved multiscale factor analysis combined with Rasch analysis to develop an evidence-based evaluation model.
• These findings highlight the potential for improved trunk function assessments, but studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate the model.
