Prognostic accuracy of the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) scores on admission for walking independence in stroke patients at discharge and one-month follow-up.

ABSTRACT: Gait prediction is critical in optimizing rehabilitation strategies for stroke survivors. This study evaluates the prognostic utility of the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM) scores, recorded at admission, for predicting walking ability at discharge and one-month follow-up. We assessed 47 stroke patients using STREAM at admission; walking independence was defined using two criteria: a Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) score >  3 and a 10-Meter Walk Test (10-MWT) speed ≥  0.4 m/s. The predictive validity of STREAM scores was analyzed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Sensitivity, specificity, and cut-off values were computed. The analysis revealed that a STREAM score above 38 at admission significantly predicted independent gait b
