Evidence[edit | edit source]

Reliability[edit | edit source]

Validity[edit | edit source]

PASS is one of the most valid and reliable clinical assessments of postural control in stroke patients during the first 3 months after stroke[1]

Responsiveness[edit | edit source]

Miscellaneous
[edit | edit source]

There is strong evidence that a short form of Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke patients, the 5-item PASS-3L, has sound psycho-metric properties in people with stroke[2].
