Overview

Randomized trial validates postural control assessment tool in stroke patients, suggesting improved clinical outcomes.

Key Points

  • The study aims to validate the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke patients (PASS) for effective postural control assessment.
  • Validation of PASS in 70 stroke patients on days 30 and 90 post-stroke onset.
  • Comparison with normative data from 30 age-matched healthy subjects.
  • Assessment of construct validity, predictive validity, internal consistency, and reliability.
  • PASS shows good construct validity with high correlation to FIM scores (r=0.73, P=10(-6)).
  • Excellent predictive validity with r=0.75 (P=10(-6)) between PASS day 30 and FIM day 90 scores.
  • High internal consistency with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.95.
