About

Studies examining the validity and reliability of easy-to-apply muscle strength and mobility outcome measures in the acute and subacute phases of stroke are quite limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether the In-Bed Bridge Test is a useful outcome measure for assessing lower extremity muscle strength and mobility in stroke.

Full description

Stroke is defined as an acute neurological dysfunction of vascular origin, with symptoms varying depending on the affected brain regions. Stroke patients often experience spasticity, upper and lower extremity dysfunction, mobility loss, and problems with walking, swallowing, vision, and communication, which span multiple systems and impact an individual's functionality. Assessing functional mobility and muscle strength plays a crucial role in planning a stroke patient's treatment program and demonstrating treatment effectiveness. Studies examining the validity and reliability of easily administered muscle strength and mobility outcome measures in the acute and subacute stages of stroke are relatively few. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether the In-Bed Bridge Test is a useful outcome measure for assessing lower extremity muscle strength and mobility in stroke.
