Psychometric properties of the Flemish version of the life balance inventory: a patient-reported outcome measure in the chronic stage after stroke.

CONCLUSION: In a pilot sample, the FL-LBI has satisfactory test-retest reliability, acceptable measurement error and minimal detectable difference and acceptable convergent validity. It can be used in clinical practice and research to assess life balance in chronic community-dwelling stroke survivors. Implications for rehabilitation Life balance can be a useful concept in stroke rehabilitation; it corresponds to individuals' perception of having a satisfying activity pattern tailored to their life circumstances. The Flemish version of the Life Balance Inventory can be used to evaluate life balance in community-dwelling chronic stroke. Satisfactory test-retest reliability and acceptable measurement error and minimal detectable difference were demonstrated in a pilot sample for the Flemish version of the Life Balance Inventory.
