Best Quantitative Tools for Assessing Static and Dynamic Standing Balance after Stroke: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Our objective was to examine the psychometric qualities (reliability and validity) and clinical utility of quantitative tools in measuring the static and dynamic standing balance of individuals after stroke. Method: We searched four databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, PEDro, Embase, and CINAHL) for studies published from January 2018 through September 2019 and included those that assessed the psychometric properties of standing balance tests with an adult stroke population. We evaluated the quality of the studies using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist and assessed each test on a utility assessment scale. Results: A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria, and 18 quantitative
