Rasch Validation and Comparison of the Mini-BESTest and S-BESTest in Individuals With Stroke.

Rasch analysis demonstrated that the Mini-BESTest was a better balance assessment scale than the S-BESTest for individuals with stroke based on its psychometric properties. The Mini-BESTest may serve as a useful scale for assessing balance in individuals with stroke, and a keyform plot and strata may help clinical decision-making in terms of interpreting scores and goal setting.
