Test-retest reliability, internal consistency and concurrent validity of Fatigue Severity Scale in measuring post-stroke fatigue.

Background: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common complaint among stroke survivors and has significant impacts on recovery and quality of life. Limited tools that measure fatigue have been validated in stroke.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) in patients with stroke.

Falls and Fear of Falling After Stroke: A Case-Control Study.

Background: Falls are common after stroke, with potentially serious consequences. Few investigations have included age-matched control participants to directly compare fall characteristics between older adults with and without stroke. Further, fear of falling, a significant psychological consequence of falls, has only been examined to a limited degree as a risk factor for future falls in a stroke population.

Post-stroke fatigue: a review on prevalence, correlates, measurement, and management.

Background: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common yet debilitating symptom for the majority of patients post-stroke. However, limited information is available for the management of this disabling condition. This is partly due to our poor understanding of the condition.
