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
BBS n=75, baseline 4.2 days, interval 12.9 days. First supratentorial stroke, test comprehension and walking practice within five days required. Independent pretest GRC ratings, meaningful at +2. BBS patient/therapist ROC cutoffs 12.5/6.5, AUC .74(.62–.85)/.78(.67–.89), sensitivity/specificity .55/.89 and .80/.72; motor-FIM AUC .53(.39–.66), no threshold. n=64 repeat BBS: SEM .8, MDC95 2.3; half change SD 4.9. Patient-GRC changes 10.7−9.5=1.2 do not reproduce Table 3’s 8.2. Exact repeat interval/model remains unspecified. Walking subset n=62 is the same study, not an independent replication.
Source locator: audit evidence record E031–044; E048 Table 1; E050 Table 2; E056 Table 3; E059 retest results
Limitations: No raw-data reanalysis. Reported MDC uses rounded SEM; a precise recalculated threshold is not substituted. Historical access claims remain separate from current inspection.

The original confirms 62 initially ambulatory participants, baseline 4.0 days and 12.3-day interval;10 m with 3 m auxiliary zones;walker 7+cane 11;two lower-extremity orthosis users. Table 3 confirms therapist ROC 0.21 m/s, AUC 0.76 (CI 0.64–0.88), sensitivity 0.78/specificity 0.68;patient/FIM AUC 0.68/0.66;MDC 0.13 from 44 retested participants.

Limitations: The orthosis type is not specified, so AFO is an unsupported narrowing. Retest interval and ICC model remain unspecified in the main text. Baseline-inability-to-later-walking changes are explicitly not represented. Supplements were not separately appraised.
