Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Stroke
142 recruited, 123 followed at four weeks; 84 initially nonambulatory. Median admission day 19. Receptive aphasia and MMSE below 20 excluded. BBS ≥29 predicted speed ≥.8 m/s: AUC .88 (.81–.95), sensitivity .86, specificity .84. BBS ≥12 predicted unassisted five-metre walking: AUC .73 (.62–.84), sensitivity .74, specificity .68. Multivariable models adjusted for onset timing and treatment assignment; BBS/5 MWT analyzed separately because rho=.72. Table V confirms the report’s endpoint mapping. This was speed-defined capacity, not directly observed community participation.
