Accuracy and reliability of observational gait analysis data: judgments of push-off in gait after stroke.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is a lack of standardized mobility measures specific to the long-term care (LTC) population. Therefore, the Continuing Care Activity Measure (CCAM) was developed. OBJECTIVE:This study determined levels of reliability, validity for clinical utilization, and sensitivity to change of this measure. DESIG...
