Clinical Trial Summary

This study is an observational study that aims to validate the Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS) in Italian (EMS-I) by comparison with the Barthel Index scale, already validated in Italian. Furthermore this study wants to evaluate the inter-rater reliability comparing the scores assigned to the same sample of patients by two independent evaluators. The study population includes 50 elderly in-patients eligible for physiotherapy.


Clinical Trial Description

This study is an observational study that aims to validate the Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS) in Italian (EMS-I) by comparison with the Barthel Index scale, already validated in Italian. The Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS) is considered a suitable tool to assess basic motor function in hospitalized geriatric patients. It has shown good psychometric characteristics. The study process requires a standardized translation protocol, including forward and backward translation. The protocol provides enrollment of 50 geriatric in-patients eligible for physiotherapy admitted to IRCCS-INRCA Hospital. Two physiotherapists independently evaluate the same enrolled patient with Italian EMS (EMS-I) and Barthel Index. ;
