Abstract: 

 Study validated the predictive ability of the Functional Assessment for Control of Trunk (FACT) for functional outcome following stroke and created an English version of the FACT. The FACT was developed in Japan to evaluate trunk function after stroke. However, only a few studies used the FACT to show functional status in performing activities of daily living (ADLs). This retrospective, observational study was conducted in Japan with 105 patients aged 65 years and older with stroke. Patients were divided into two groups according to the median FACT score at admission: trunk impairment or high trunk function. ADLs were assessed using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) as an outcome variable. Multiple regression analysis was performed for FIM gain and FIM efficiency to examine the relationship between trunk function assessed by the FACT at admission and functional prognosis. Forty-eight (45.7 percent) and 57 (54.3 percent) patients were categorized to the trunk impairment group and high trunk function group, respectively. FACT score at admission was associated with FIM gain and FIM efficiency after adjusting for confounders. Results suggest that trunk impairment at admission, as assessed by FACT, can predict functional prognosis. An English-Japanese editing company forward-translated the original Japanese FACT to develop the English version, which further demonstrated the validity of the FACT.
