Design: Data were retrieved from a previous study wherein 212 patients were assessed at 14 and 30 days after stroke with the BBS and PASS. Setting: Medical center. Participants: Patients (N=212) with first onset of stroke within 14 days before hospitalization. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Group-level responsiveness was examined by the standardized response mean (SRM), and individual-level responsiveness was examined by the proportion of patients whose change scores exceeded the minimal detectable change of each measure. The responsiveness was compared using the bootstrap approach. Results: The BBS-3P and PASS-3P had good group-level (SRM,.60 and SRM,.56, respectively) and individual-level (48.1% and 44.8% of the patients with significant improvement, respectively) responsiveness. Bootstrap analyses showed that the BBS-3P generally had superior responsiveness to the BBS and SFBBS, and the PASS-3P had similar responsiveness to the PASS and SFPASS. The BBS-3P and PASS-3P were equally responsive to both group and individual change. Conclusions: The responsiveness of the BBS-3P and PASS-3P was comparable or superior to those of the original and short-form measures. We recommend the BBS-3P and PASS-3P as responsive outcome measures of balance for individuals with stroke. ? 2017 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine[SDGs]SDG3adult; Berg Balance Scale; body equilibrium; bootstrapping; clinical assessment; female; hospitalization; human; major clinical study; male; outcome assessment; psychometry; stroke patient; aged; body equilibrium; cerebrovascular accident; disability; follow up; longitudinal study; middle aged; outcome assessment; pathophysiology; physiology; procedures; psychometry; reproducibility; stroke rehabilitation; treatment outcome; validation study; Aged; Disability Evaluation; Female; Follow-Up Studies; Humans; Longitudinal Studies; Male; Middle Aged; Outcome Assessment (Health Care); Postural Balance; Psychometrics; Reproducibility of Results; Stroke; Stroke Rehabilitation; Treatment Outcomejournal article10.1016/j.apmr.2017.08.472288998242-s2.0-85032265690
