Introduction/Background The Life Balance Inventory is a questionnaire developed to assess congruence between how people want to spend their time in various activities and how they actually spend their time in those activities. Stroke has a major impact on daily activities and life balance might be compromised after stroke. The aim of this study was to validate the Flemish version of the Life Balance Inventory (LBI) in people in the chronic phase after stroke. Material and method The LBI was translated according to the principles of translation and cultural adaptation process of patient-reported outcomes. We recruited 22 first-ever stroke survivors, aged 18 or older and at least 6 months post-stroke. The LBI was administered twice, with a time interval of one week. Test-retest reliability of the LBI was examined using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots. Construct validity was assessed by calculating Spearman Rank correlation coefficients between LBI and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS). Results Mean age (±SD) of our sample was 60±11 years, mean time post-stroke 655±139 days and 14/22 (64%) participants were male. Mean total LBI score was 2.41±0.42 out of 3 on the first occasion and 2.39±0.47 on the second occasion, demonstrating relatively good satisfaction with life balance after stroke. The ICC [95%] for total LBI score was 0.91 [0.77–0.97] indicating good test-retest reliability. Construct validity was supported by moderate association between LBI and HADS (r s =−0.46, P =0.011) and between LBI and SIS (r s =0.65, P =0.002), as hypothesized. Conclusion In stroke recovery and rehabilitation, more attention is warranted to evaluate life balance. LBI results may guide the rehabilitation approach. Psychometric properties for the Flemish version of the LBI are underpinned by the results of this study and support use of LBI in clinical practice and research.
