Abstract
Trunk performance has been recognized as an important independent predictor of activities of daily living after a stroke (1). Clinical outcome measures for assessing trunk control include the Trunk Control Test (TCT) and the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) (2). The TIS demonstrates high validity and reliability with a less pronounced ceiling effect than other tools (3), however the scale is observer-dependent. Developments in technology allow clinical measures to be scored automatically. This research investigates the feasibility of using sensors to develop an instrumented TIS.
