Reliability and validity of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) in people with subacute stroke. Physical therapy. 2014. DOI 10.2522/ptj.20130558 Source examined: Complete licensed original article PDF examined, including main tables; key table visually checked. Average-rating video rescoring, not patient test–retest; no original MDC. Current Fugl-Meyer motor-group classification, not prognosis. Printed Mini/BBS negative likelihood ratios conflict with corresponding sensitivity/specificity.

Limitations: No reanalysis of participant data. Cross-paper independence cannot be inferred from matching n 12/n 70; source sites and FMA grouping differ.
