Key result
Better trunk function correlates strongly with balance performance in chronic stroke.
Cross-Sectional (n=30)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between the trunk impairment and balance in patients with chronic stroke. METHODS: Thirty subjects with chronic stroke participated in the study. The subjects were evaluated with the trunk impairment scale (TIS) and Tinetti balance scale (TBS). RESULT: Spearman's correlation showed highly significant correlation between TIS and TBS scores (rho = 0.911). CONCLUSION: The study reveals that the trunk impairment and balance in subjects with stroke are positively correlated with each other.

Jijimol et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic stroke (n=30). Trunk impairment was evaluated on Correlation between trunk impairment scale (TIS) and Tinetti balance scale (TBS) scores (rho = 0.911). Trunk impairment was strongly positively correlated with balance in patients with chronic stroke (rho = 0.911).
