Objectives: To examine the convergent validity, sensitivity to change, floor and ceiling effects of the Community Balance and Mobility Scale (CB&M) in community-dwelling stroke survivors. The secondary objective was to determine the correlations between the CB&M and lower-limb motor recovery and strength.Design: Validity study.Setting: Two university-based research centers.Participants: Community-dwelling persons after stroke (N=44; 24 men, 20 women; mean age, 62.6 +/- 12.6y). Baseline measures were taken 3 months after the onset of stroke (98.6 +/- 52.6d); participants were reassessed 8 months post-stroke (246.8 +/- 57.2d).Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: CB&M, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up & Go (TUG), Chedoke McMaster Stroke Assessment (CMSA) Impairment Inventory for leg and foot, concentric bilateral isokinetic strength of the lower-limb flexor and extensor muscle groups using a dynamometer. The magnitude of the associations and the standardized response means (SRMs) among the CB&M, BBS, and TUG were used to examine the convergent validity and sensitivity to change, respectively.Results: Moderate to high convergent validities (p=.70 to .83, P
