The minimal important difference for the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients in the subacute stage.

Background: The minimal important difference (MID) of the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) remains unknown, limiting the interpretation of change scores.

Objectives: To estimate the MID of the PASS in patients with subacute stroke.

Methods: Data at admission and discharge for 240 participants were retrieved from a longitudinal study.

Consistency between two subjective assessments of activities of daily living: Patient- and occupational therapist-reported judgments.

Purpose: To examine the consistency between patient- and occupational therapist-reported judgments of patients' ability and change in ADL abilities.

Materials: Patient- and therapist-reported ADL abilities were assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale, whilst the changes in patients' ADL abilities were reported by patients and therapists using a 15-point Likert-type scale.

Methods: Repeated assessments at a 3-week interval were used.
