| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is used to objectively determine a patient's ability (or inability) to safely balance during a series of predetermined tasks. Timepoint: 6 weeks. Method of measurement: It is a 14 item list with each item consisting of a five-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating the lowest level of function and 4 the highest level of function and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. It does not include the assessment of gait. Cut-off scores for the elderly were reported <45 indicates individuals may be at greater risk of falling.;Trunk impairment scale aims to evaluate the trunk in patients who have suffered a stroke. TIS assesses static and dynamic sitting balance and trunk coordination in a sitting position. Timepoint: 6 weeks. Method of measurement: For each item, a 2-, 3- or 4-point ordinal scale is used. On the static and dynamic sitting balance and coordination subscales the maximal scores that can be attained are 7, 10 and 6 points. The total score for TIS ranges between 0 for a minimal performance to 23 for a perfect performance.;The Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living is an ordinal scale which measures a person's ability to complete activities of daily living (ADL). Each item is scored based on whether or not the individual can perform a task or activity independently, with assistance or if they are fully dependent. Timepoint: 6 weeks. Method of measurement: . The scoring is as follows: 0 = unable, 1 = needs assistance/help, 2 = independent. The for the ten items are summed and x 5 to get a total score out of 100. Proposed guidelines for interpreting Barthel scores are as :1) 0-20 indicate “total” dependency, 2) 21-60 indicate “severe” dependency, 3) 61-90 indicate “moderate” dependency, 4) 91-99 indicate “slight” dependency and most studies use a score of 60/61 (moderate dependency) as a cutting point. | — |
