Reliability and Concurrent Validity of Four Square Step Test Scores in Subjects With Chronic Stroke: A Pilot Study

FSST is an easy-to-administer clinical test with good intrarater and interrater reliability in persons with chronic stroke to assess dynamic standing balance. FSST times of 11 seconds are able to differentiate between persons with chronic stroke and healthy adults older than 50 years. The correlation of FSST times with standing balance and functional mobility measures requires further research with a larger sample size.
