title: Validation of the mobility nursing outcome in stroke survivors.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To validate the indicators of the mobility nursing outcome.
  
  
  METHODS
  This is a methodological study carried out from February to April 2011. The instrument was assessed by 23 nurses, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.0.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The title "physical mobility" was the most suitable. There was a statistical proportion of less than 85% of experts who agreed that the indicators running, crawling, jumping, and moves with ease were relevant to mobility nursing outcome (p < .05). However, these indicators were not associated with stroke patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For stroke patients, some indicators are not adequate to their evaluation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This work supports the tools' development to assess accurate outcome measurements in specific populations.
