Old Age Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Turkısh Versıon Of The Balance Recovery Confidence (Brc) Scale: Its Cultural Adaptatıon, Valıdatıon And Relıabılıty In Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Falls in older adults lead to serious consequences, including injury, associated comorbidities, and death. It also causes long-term immobilization and related complications. Therefore, studies on fall issues such as screening for fall risk factors in older adults, measures to be taken to prevent falls, and limiting the effects of falls can contribute to public health by reducing falls in older adults and limiting their effects. In this context, research on the evaluation and development of balance has an extremely important place. So far, physical performance tests and scales have been developed that evaluate different aspects of balance. One of these scales is the Balance Restoration Self-Confidence Scale (BRC). However, the Turkish adaptation of BRC has not been made yet. For these reasons, the aim of the study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the BRC in community-dwelling older adults.

Primary | The balance recovery confidence (BRC) scale | The scale consists of 19 items. The scale measures the self-confidence ability to correct balance in different situations that may cause loss of balance, such as stumbling or slipping. Items are scored between 0 and 10, and the maximum score is 190. A high score indicates a high perception of self-confidence in correcting balance (16). | first measurement, repeat measurement (7 days) |
