Abstract

Objective To compare three postural assessment scales(PAS) on postural control(PC) in patients with stroke in acute stage. Methods Forty-five patients with stroke were assessed with the postural assessment scale for stroke patients (PASS), the balance sub scale of the Fugl Meyer movement assessment (FM-B) and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) at 1 w and 3 w post-stroke, before discharging from hospital. The correlation between PASS, FM-B and BBS was examined with Spearman correlation coefficients, and floor and ceiling effects were calculated. Results There was positive correlation among PASS, FM-B and BBS (r=0.867~0.957,P0.01). There were obvious floor and ceiling effects in FM-B and BBS (26.6%, 26.6%) in the first assessment, but not in PASS. Conclusion The ability of PC in stroke patients in acute stage could be evaluated with PASS, FM-B and BBS, and PASS is the best suitable among above scales.
