In 2025, Longjun Ren and colleagues, from Hong Kong Polytechnic University, translated and culturally adapted the BMET into a Catonese version named the C-BMET'.
The C-BMET was tested in 60 with people with stroke and 27 healthy controls, participants were also retested at 7-days. Results showed C-BMET scores were significantly correlated with MoCA scores, Trial Making Tasks A and B times and Digit Span Test results. Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency showed a score of 0.652, whilst intra-class correlation coefficient showed a score of 0.604 for test-retest reliability. The optimal cut-off for the C-BMET was found to be 12.5.
The C-BMET is freely available to download here!
