Prognostic value of balance performance for improvements of community ambulation among stroke patients: a cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: Semi-tandem and the 5STS tests can discriminate patients who improve level of functional ambulation and predict transition times within three months in nonambulators and limited community ambulation patients, respectively.CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The semi-tandem and the 5STS tests can be performed easily in clinical settings to predict improvement of functional ambulation level in patients following stroke.PMID:34498829 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.21.06996-3
