SwePASS
SwePASS - the modified Swedish version of Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS)
SwePASS is a standardized scale for assessment of postural control in patients with stroke. SwePASS is developed from the French original version and the English published version by Benaim et al. 1999.
The measurement properties of the SwePass have been investigated in several publications based on the Postural Stroke Study in Gothenburg (POSTGOT) and the Fall Study of Gothenburg (FallsGOT).
