Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the test-retest reliability of body awareness scale in patients with chronic hemiparetic stroke and to evaluate the correlation among body recognition, postural stability and gait performance in individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke.
Methods: Thirty-three persons who had a diagnosed first stroke before 6 months and above participated in this study. This study measured six clinical tools including Body Awareness Scale (BAS), Timed Up-and-Go Test (TUG), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), 5-Time Sit-to-Stand Test (5TSTS), 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), and Modified Barthel Index (MBI). The statistical methods were descriptive statistics and correlation analysis.
Results: The participants were 18 right-sided hemipareticc patients and 15 left-sided hemiparetic patients. BAS showed excellent intra-rater reliability (r=0.986~0.998, p< .05). BAS score was negatively significantly correlated with MBI score, but was not significantly correlated with other four clinical tools including TUG, BBS, 5TSTS, and 10MWT (p >.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that BAS is a reliable clinical measure to examine the body recognition and that body awareness is good relationship with activities of daily living in individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke.
