Objective: To find the Trunk Impairment Scale as a functional predictor in stroke. Study design: Observational study design. Subjects: Total of 30 subjects with Hemiparesis were taken by convenience sampling. Interventions: 30 subjects were assessed initially and after four weeks of first assessment and correlating the initial assessment and fourth weeks assessment. Outcome measures: Berg Balance scale, Functional independence measure, ten meter walk test. Results: Results showed Trunk Impairment Scale has positive correlation with Functional Independence measures, Berg Balance Scale scores and negative correlation with Ten Meter Walk test. Conclusion: Trunk Impairment Scale correlation with some specific motor results such as balance, walking speed and Functional Independence Measures. Concluded that Trunk Impairment Scale is a functional predictor in stroke patients.
