Abstract

Mobility limitations in post-stroke patients can be assessed by scales as long as they have confirmed validity and reliability. Objective: To determine the content validity of a Protocol for Mobility Scale and Mobility Ruler (PERMo) in the mobility assessment of hospitalized patients after stroke. Methods: Validity study, in which a committee of experts with eight participants evaluated the content of the PERMo. For each PERMo item to be valid, all content validity indices (CVIs) should be >80%. Results: After four rounds of content validity evaluation, a final version of the protocol was established. In the third round, only one item related to the patient's ability to roll presented a CVI of 75%. All PERMo items were considered adequate in the fourth round, with CVIs ranging from 88% to 100%. The experts proposed changes in the PERMo throughout the four rounds, consistent with their quantitative assessment. The researchers accepted all of the suggestions. Conclusion: The appropriate CVIs obtained in the final version of the PERMo emphasized a consensus among experts in understanding that the instrument is valid for assessing mobility in hospitalized post-stroke patients.
