A Comparison of Two Balance Measures to Predict Discharge Performance From Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation

Conclusions: Contrary to our hypotheses, the BBS and PASS performed equally well in our study sample and were best at predicting patients discharged in the slowest GV category. There were few differences between the PASS subscores. Further research should compare how well admission BBS and PASS predict gait velocity, falls, and other functional parameters in the community after IRU discharge.
