Stroke often results in sensory-motor impairments such as weakness, loss of dexterity and loss of proprioception that potentially interfere on the performance of daily activities and social participation. 1,2 For instance, approximately 70% of the individuals who retain the ability to walk after stroke, cannot move at normal speeds and are, therefore, limited in daily activities such as crossing the road or running to catch a bus. 3 Regaining the ability to walk is one of the main goals for people after stroke aiming at greater social participation, and for their family members.Previous studies have focused on identifying impairments and activity limitations resulting from stroke that are associated with low levels of social participation. Their results suggested that muscle weakness, [4][5][6]

Identifying the determinants of walking confidence can be crucial in therapeutic terms. On these bases, interventions to improve these factors could improve, in turn, walking confidence. Objective is to explore the relationship between motor impairments and activity limitation measures and walking confidence in people with chronic stroke. Walking confidence was assessed using the modified Gait Efficacy Scale. The independent variables were: strength of the hip flexors and knee flexors/extensors (measured with a dynamometer), lower limb coordination (assessed by the Lower Extremity Motor Coordination Test), dynamic balance (assessed by the Four-Square Step Test), walking speed (from the 10-m Walk Test), aerobic capacity (from the 6-Minute Walk Test), and self-perceived locomotion ability (assessed by the ABILOCO). Pearson correlation was used to explore the relationships between the variables, and multiple linear regression to identify the independent explainers of walking confidence after stroke. Ninety chronic stroke individuals (35 men), with a mean age of 68 (SD 13) years were assessed. All independent variables were significantly correlated with walking confidence. Regarding the regression analysis, these measures explained 44% (F = 9.21; P < 0.001) of the variance in walking confidence; however, only walking speed, strength of the hip flexor muscles, aerobic capacity, and perceived locomotion ability showed significance. All motor impairment and activity limitation measures correlated with walking confidence. However, the regression analysis highlighted that only walking speed, aerobic capacity, the strength of the hip flexor muscles, and perceived locomotion were independent explainers of walking confidence after stroke.

Reliability and Validity of the Function Impairment Screening Tool in Chinese Older Adults

Background: Physical function gradually decreases with age in older adults, affecting their independence and quality of life and leaving them prone to adverse outcomes. Despite the importance of assessing function for older adults, most studies have focused on disability and paid less attention to functional impairment. Thus, given the lack of valid and practical methods for evaluating functional impairment for older adults, we developed the function impairment screening tool (FIST) using the Delphi method.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the FIST in Chinese older adults.Methods: A total of 489 participants aged 60 years or older, and who had completed the FIST were included. A subgroup of 50 participants completed the FIST a second time, 1 week after the first round, and the test–retest reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha. Validity was examined using exploratory factor analysis. Criterion-related validity was assessed using correlations between the FIST and the Barthel Index activities of daily living (ADL), Lawton, and Brody instrumental activities of daily living (LB-IADL).Results: The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the FIST was 0.930 (P < 0.001). The test–retest reliability was good, with an ICC of 0.928 (95% confidence interval [0.874, 0.960]). Exploratory factor analyses revealed one factor accounting for 60.14% of the scale's variance and the load values of every item were >0.4 (0.489–0.872). The correlation coefficient was 0.572 (P < 0.001) between the FIST score and ADL, and was 0.793 (P < 0.001) between the FIST score and IADL. The FIST score was positively correlated with walking speed (r = 0.475, P < 0.001) and grip strength (r = 0.307, P < 0.001), and negatively correlated with age (r = −0.588, P < 0.001) and Fried frailty phenotype (r = −0.594, P < 0.001).Conclusion: The FIST is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing physical function impairment in older adults.
