Predictive validity of obstacle-crossing test variations in identifying fallers after inpatient rehabilitation for stroke
The ability to step over a custom-height obstacle may be a good indicator of post-stroke fall status 3 months after hospital discharge. Subtle increases in obstacle depth did not significantly alter accuracy. The "one-size-fits-all" obstacle test from the FGA had poor predictive validity at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation for stroke.
