A Comparative Study of Timed Up and Go Test and Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment in Predicting Falls in Hemiparetic Stroke Patients
Abstract: Hemiparesis following stroke is the most frequent cause of adult disability. Falls in stroke survivors are a consequence of stroke related locomotor deficits or balance deficits or gait disturbances. Falls are common following stroke but knowledge about predicting future fallers is lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare Timed Up and Go test (TUG) scores and Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) scores for predicting falls in Hemiparetic patients …
