Introduction. In the last years the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) has become in the most common utility to assess balance and postural control in adult patients who have suffered a stroke, especially in the acute and subacute phase.
Aim. To translate the PASS into Spanish and to validate it as an instrument to evaluate balance and postural control in adult stroke patients in Spain.
Patients and methods. The French version was translated into Spanish, this version was agreed by a team of experts. Later a back-translation was made into French and was sent to original author, who approved this version. To assess the interrater and intrarater reliability were performed four measurements on 60 post-stroke patients which was recorded a videotape. Two of these measurements were performed by the same rater, and the third and fourth by a second and third rater.
Results. The values refer to the total score of the scale and reflect a reliability of 0.999. They also show a reliability greater than 0.90 in each of the items in both intrarater and interrater comparisons as an internal consistency of 0.94.
Conclusions. The Spanish version of PASS is valid and can reliably evaluate balance and postural control for adult stroke survivors.
