Abstract
Background: The Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques - 4 (FICSIT-4) is a measure that assesses standing balance ability. However, the psychometric properties of the FICSIT-4 have not been examined in people with stroke.
Objectives: To investigate the psychometric properties of the FICSIT-4, including its internal consistency, test - retest reliability, concurrent validity, and known-group validity, and identify the cutoff score on the FICSIT-4 that discriminates people with stroke from healthy older people.
Methods: Sixty-two participants with stroke and 49 age-matched healthy controls were recruited. The FICSIT-4 was administered twice, on days 1 and 2, with a 1-week interval, to the participants with stroke to examine test - retest reliability. Various health-related measures were also administered to the stroke participants on day 1. The FICISIT-4 was only administered once, on day 1, to the healthy participants.
Results: The FICIST-4 was found to exhibit fair internal consistency, good test - retest reliability and significant correlations with various health-related outcome measures. It also demonstrated known-group validity, and a score of 25 was found to distinguish people with stroke from healthy older people.
Conclusion: The FICISIT-4 is a reliable and valid measure for assessing the standing balance ability of people with stroke.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation is the leading journal devoted to the study and dissemination of interdisciplinary, evidence-based, clinical information related to stroke rehabilitation. The journal’s scope covers physical medicine and rehabilitation, neurology, neurorehabilitation, neural engineering and therapeutics, neuropsychology and cognition, optimization of the rehabilitation system, robotics and biomechanics, pain management, nursing, physical therapy, cardiopulmonary fitness, mobility, occupational therapy, speech pathology and communication. There is a particular focus on stroke recovery, improving rehabilitation outcomes, quality of life, activities of daily living, motor control, family and care givers, and community issues.
The journal reviews and reports clinical practices, clinical trials, state-of-the-art concepts, and new developments in stroke research and patient care. Both primary research papers, reviews of existing literature, and invited editorials, are included. Sharply-focused, single-issue topics, and the latest in clinical research, provide in-depth knowledge.
