Assessing lower limb position sense in stroke using the gradient discrimination test (GradDT ™) and step-height discrimination test (StepDT™): a reliability and validity study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our novel, functionally oriented tests of lower limb position sense are reliable, valid and feasible for use in an ambulatory chronic stroke and elderly population. Implications for rehabilitation The GradDT™ and StepDT are two novel tests of lower limb position sense which are reliable and valid in a chronic stroke sample. They offer clinicians and researchers sensitive, accurate and clinically usable measures of lower limb position sense. PMID: 30636492 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
