What this trial studies

The project translates and adapts the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) into French and then evaluates its clinimetric properties. Phase 1 focuses on translation, back-translation, structural validation, and cognitive interviews to ensure the French version is understandable and appropriate. Phase 2 conducts a cross-sectional metrological study at a single center to assess validity and reliability, with blinded evaluators to maintain objectivity. Eligible participants are adults who have had a stroke and can sit for 10 seconds, among other criteria, and must provide informed consent. The study is conducted in collaboration with multiple French and Belgian institutions and is led by Centre Mutualiste de Rééducation et de Réadaptation Fonctionnelles de Kerpape.
