Abstract Summary
Walking deficits are common following stroke, yet typically used clinical and functional assessments fail to adequately identify their source. We previously developed a Comprehensive Locomotion Index (CLI) that uses objective measurements and differentiates functional status among individuals with chronic stroke. Here we sought to validate the CLI in a larger sample. The CLI reveals high concurrent validity with several common clinical assessments and may help to detect subclinical pathology in individuals identified as healthy, community dwelling controls. Future work will assess performance of the CLI for treatment prognosis.
