Abstract: Article summarizes research addressing what is known about measurements of trunk muscle strength after stroke. A total of 260 potentially relevant research articles were identified via 3 electronic database searches and a hand search; 28 articles met the inclusion criteria. The research was examined for information on patients, measurement procedures and study findings. Findings regarding measurement properties (i.e., validity, reliability, and responsiveness) were of particular interest. Evidence involving diverse populations and measurement procedures demonstrates that trunk muscle strength is impaired after stroke. Many studies show that measurements of trunk muscle strength have known-groups/conditions and convergent validity with balance and performance of functional activities. The literature also supports the reliability of measurements of trunk strength after stroke. Little is known regarding the responsiveness of the measurements.
