The validation of assessment instruments is of great importance when they
are applied in clinical and healthcare settings, since their safe and reliable use is essential for the
application of appropriate and high-quality treatments. The motor activity log (MAL-30) is an
instrument widely used by professionals in the clinic, which has been validated in different countries,
languages and populations. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of
the MAL-30 scale for post-stroke patients in a Spanish sample.
