However, it is observer-dependent and neglects the quality of trunk movements. This study proposes an instrumented TIS (iTIS) using the Valedo system, comprising portable inertial sensors, as an objective measure of trunk impairment post-stroke. Objective: This study investigates the concurrent and discriminant ability of the iTIS in chronic stroke participants. Methods: Forty participants (20 with chronic stroke, 20 healthy, age-matched) were assessed using the TIS and iTIS simultaneously. A Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to examine concurrent validity. A ROC curve was used to determine whether the iTIS could distinguish between stroke participants with and without trunk impairment. Results: A moderate relationship was found between the observed iTIS parameters and the clinical scores, supporting the concurrent validity of the iTIS. The small sample size meant definitive conclusions could not be drawn about the parameter differences between stroke groups (participants scoring zero and one on the clinical TIS) and the parameter cut-off points. Conclusions: The iTIS can detect small changes in trunk ROM that cannot be observed clinically. The iTIS has important implications for objective assessments of trunk impairment in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20061699","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,19]],"date-time":"2020-03-19T07:54:14Z","timestamp":1584604454000},"page":"1699","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Concurrent Validity of a Novel Wireless Inertial Measurement System for Assessing Trunk Impairment in People with Stroke"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Norah","family":"Alhwoaimel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK"},{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Alkharj 11942, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Warner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3958-8206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ann-Marie","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Ferrari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosciences, Biomedecine and Movement Sciences, University of Verona, 37134 Verona, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Sacro Cuore Don Calabria Hospital, 37024 Negrar, Italy"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Burridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5206-6269","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seng Kwee","family":"Wee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Advanced Rehabilitation Therapeutics (CART), Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore 308433, Singapore"},{"name":"Health and Social Sciences Cluster, Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore 138683, Singapore"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3095-8175","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Geert","family":"Verheyden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, KU Leuven\u2014University of Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Ruth","family":"Turk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Edwards, S.
