This study identified good psychometric properties of the BLS using Rasch analysis and supports the use of the BLS as a measure of lateropulsion following stroke. Further use of Rasch analysis on the BLS using a larger sample is recommended to confirm these preliminary findings and allow transformation into an interval-level scale.
