Development of a toileting performance assessment test for patients in the early stroke phase.

CONCLUSIONS: The toileting performance assessment test has acceptable psychometric properties and proved useful in assessing toileting performance ability of patients in the early phase after stroke. Implications for rehabilitation Toileting performance assessment test demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties, and it can be useful for assessing the toileting ability of patients in the early phase after stroke. Toileting performance assessment test should provide information that leads to lowered risk of falls while toileting, and the information gathered can assist patients in achieving early toileting independence after stroke. As the development of toileting performance assessment test excluded patients with cognitive disabilities, the item for cognitive function should be developed as well.
