Validity of the Trunk Assessment Scale and Trunk Control Test for Spinal Cord Injury
This study evaluated the criterion and construct validity of two trunk function assessment tools (TASS and TCT-SCI) in 30 individuals with spinal cord injury, finding moderate correlation between them and establishing cut-off scores for identifying ambulatory capacity. Results support the validity of both scales for evaluating trunk function in SCI populations, with TASS scores ≥26 and TCT-SCI scores ≥18 indicating ambulatory potential.
