Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Two balance assessment tools that have been used recently have attracted considerable attention: the Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Test (cognitive) (DTUG) and the 3-m Backward Walk Test (3MBWT). The aim of this study is to compare the psychometric properties of two clinically proven balance assessment tools.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There are unidimensional and multidimensional scales used to evaluate gait balance after stroke. Unidimensional scales (DTUG, 3MBWT) can be useful in clinical practice and in screening for basic balance problems. Two balance assessment tools that have been used recently have attracted considerable attention: the Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Test (cognitive) (DTUG) and the 3-m Backward Walk Test (3MBWT). The aim of this study is to compare the psychometric properties of two clinically proven balance assessment tools. In the study, construct validity, concurrent validity, reliability, and cut-off score (for determining falling risk) of the two tests will be calculated.

Interventions

Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Test (cognitive)

It evaluates balance with a simultaneous cognitive and motor task. The cognitive task of the test is serial triple subtraction while the TUG test is a motor task. Balance performance will be recorded in seconds.

Intervention Type OTHER

3-m Backward Walk Test

It is used to assess fall risk and balance. It is calculated in how many seconds an individual can walk backward a marked distance of 3 meters.

Intervention Type OTHER

Modified Four Square Step Test

It is a performance test that evaluates dynamic balance in stroke individuals with the ability to avoid obstacles and take steps in all directions. Balance performance is recorded in seconds.

Intervention Type OTHER

Timed Up and Go Test

It is used to assess balance and functional mobility. The participant is asked to get up from the chair she/he is sitting in, walk the marked distance of 3 meters and return to her/his seat again. The elapsed time is recorded in seconds.

Intervention Type OTHER

Berg Balance Test

It consists of 14 items and evaluates dynamic balance and functional mobility in stroke. The maximum score is 56. Higher scores indicate better balance.

Intervention Type OTHER
