The relationship between sitting balance, trunk control and mobility with predictive for current mobility level in survivors of sub-acute stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the relationship between sitting balance, trunk control, and mobility, as well as whether the sitting balance and trunk control can predict mobility level in sub-acute stroke survivors.

Methods

This is a observational and cross-sectional study. Fifty-five hemiplegic stroke survivors were participated in this study. The Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) was used to estimate mobility, and the Sitting Balance Scale (SBS) was used to examining sitting balance. The Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), Trunk Control Test (TCT), and Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke-trunk control (PASS-TC) were used for examining the trunk control. Spearman's correlation was used to analyze the relationship between TUG, SBS, TIS, TCT, and PASS-TC.

Results

The TUG is significant
