Validity and Reliability of the Videoconference-Based Berg Balance Scale in Stroke Survivors: The Tele-Berg Balance Scale.

Background And Purpose: Telerehabilitation represents an alternative for individuals who have difficulty accessing services to receive care. Therefore, telerehabilitation measures must be studied for their reliability and validity. This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the videoconference-based Berg Balance Scale assessment in stroke survivors.

Adaptation and development of the instruction manual for a videoconference-based Motor Assessment Scale: validity, reliability and measurement error of Tele-MAS.

Purpose: To develop an instruction manual to administer the Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) videoconferencing (Tele-MAS), investigate its validity, reliability and measurement error.

Materials And Methods: In-person assessment, conducted at the participant's home, was compared to remote assessment conducted by rater A. Then, within two days, the rater B, repeat the remote assessment ( = 41).

Validity, Reliability, and Measurement Error of the Remote Fugl-Meyer Assessment by Videoconferencing: Tele-FMA.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the validity, reliability, and measurement error of the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) when it was remotely administered by videoconferencing (Tele-FMA) and to describe barriers to remote administration of the FMA.

Methods: Forty-five participants who had strokes and had a smartphone or laptop computer with a camera and internet access were included. An in-person assessment was compared with a remote assessment in 11 participants, and 34 participants completed only the remote assessment.
