Purpose: To explore the interrater reliability of the Advanced Mobility and Balance Scale (AMBS) and to determine its discriminative capacity in stroke patients.Methods: Twelve hemiparetic patients and six healthy elderly volunteers were videotaped while: (1) executing rapid head motions during standing and walking; and (2) standing and walking on a slope. Five physical therapists viewed the videotapes to establish interrater reliability.Results: Interrater reliability: Intraclass correlation ratios ranged from 0.93-0.97 for the AMBS global as well as slope and head turn subscores. Construct validity: One-way ANOVAs and post-hoc pairwise comparisons were performed to determine whether there was a difference in scores between high (HFL) and low functional-level (LFL) stroke patients (based on gait speed) and healthy subjects. Mean (+/-SD) global scores were 45 +/- 3 for healthy subjects, 40 +/- 9 for HFL stroke patients and 25 +/- 1 for LFL stroke patients (p < 0.05 for HFL versus LFL patients and LFL patients versus healthy subjects). The AMBS slope subscores were 22 + 2, 19 + 5, 9 + 7 for healthy, HFL and LFL subjects respectively (p
