    Objective: This study aimed to clarify validation of one-leg standing time (OLST) with a cane for evaluation of walking independence in patients with stroke.

    Methods: The subjects of this study were 103 patients with stroke. We performed correlation analysis, group comparison in walking ability at discharge, and multiple logistic regression analysis.

    Results: Both paralyzed OLST and non-paralyzed OLST with a cane showed highest correlation coefficient for the Berg Balance Scale. A significant difference was found between OLST with a cane of walking independence group and that of walking supervision group. The paralyzed OLST and Cognitive-related Behavioral Assessment (CBA) were selected by multiple logistic regression analyses.

    Conclusion: Both paralyzed OLST and non-paralyzed OLST with a cane showed validity for accurately evaluating walking independence in patients with stroke. In addition, paralyzed OLST with a cane proved to be a high-performance measure for walking independence when evaluated together with CBA.
