Psychometric Properties of the Trail Walking Test for People With Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate (i) the inter-rater and test-retest reliability of the trail walking test (TWT) and the minimum detectable change in the TWT completion time; (ii) the correlations between the TWT completion time and stroke-specific impairments; and (iii) the cutoff TWT completion time to distinguish between people with stroke and healthy older adults according to dual-tasking ambulation ability.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

University-based rehabilitation center.

Participants

In total, 104 people with stroke and 53 healthy older adults.

Main outcome measures

The TWT, the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity (FMA-LE), the ankle muscle strength test, the limit of stability (LOS) test, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed Up and Go
