Abbreviations: TIS-modNV: Trunk Impairment Scale – Norwegian version. The items are organized according to Lower and Upper trunk, which relates to the stability required to perform the movement: lower trunk stability to move the upper trunk selectively, and upper trunk stability to selectively move the lower trunk. *In items 3 and 4, top score = 2. Statistical test: Chi-Square test, Linear-by-Linear Association, Exact Sig. (2-sided) |
