Title: | Assessing the turning ability during walking in people with stroke using L test | Authors: | Ng, SSM Tse, MMY Chen, P Lam, TPS Yeung, THT Liu, TW So, BCL |
Issue Date: | Feb-2023 | Source: | International journal of environmental research and public health, Feb. 2023, v. 20, no. 4, 3618 | Abstract: | Background: The L Test of Functional Mobility (L Test) was developed to assess the advanced mobility, which includes both turning and walking ability. This study aimed to evaluate (1) the intra-rater reliability of the L Test in four turning conditions, (2) the correlation with other stroke-specific impairment for community-dwelling older adults with stroke, and (3) the optimal cut-off completion time of the L Test to distinguish the difference of performance between healthy older adults and people with stroke. Methods: This is a cross-sectional design. Thirty older adults with stroke and healthy older adults were included. The subjects were assessed by L Test along with other stroke-specific outcomes. Results: The L Test showed excellent intra-rater reliability (ICC = 0.945–0.978) for the four turning conditions. There were significant correlations between L Test completion times and Fugl–Meyer Assessment–Lower Extremity (FMA-LE) scores, Fugl–Meyer Assessment–Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) scores, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, and Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test scores. The cut-off of the L Test was established as 23.41–24.13 s. Conclusion: The L Test is an easy-to-administer clinical test for assessing the turning ability of people with stroke. |
