Filter by:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different baby carrying methods (including carrying in arms and carrying in a baby carrier) in the females' balance during standing and walking.
The aim of the study is to describe the cultural adaptation of the Ottawa Sitting Scale and to examine the factor structure, reliability and validity of the scale in patients with stroke. The scale will be translated into Turkish language by following the procedure. 80 patients will be recruited in the study. Berg Balance Scale and Trunk Impairment Scale will be included with Turkish Ottawa Sitting Scale to test the validity. Outcome measures will be repeated by a second physiotherapist the day after the first assessment for interrater reliability and conducted twice within 2 weeks (test-retest) for reliability. The interrater and intrarater reliability of the Ottawa sitting scale will be determined using intraclass correlation coefficients and internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha.
This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the prevalence of post-stroke visual dependence, and the effects of visual dependence on balance and gait. It also determines whether visual dependence could differentiate stroke patients with a history of falls from without.
Increased muscle tone, decreased normal range of motion, and functional impairments may result in decreased load on the affected limb, deviations in gait patterns, balance and coordination disorders in individuals with stroke. In the literature, there are many scales that evaluate balance and functional performance in stroke. However there is no validity and reliability study of Dubousset Function Test developed to evaluate balance and functional performance of stroke. For this reason, the aim of study is to examine the validity and reliability of Dubousset Function Test in stroke patients.
In order to achieve collaborative patient-centered rehabilitation in Parkinson's disease, detailed evaluation of walking and balance in evaluating the perceived difficulty in daily life is important to evaluate the progression of the disease and its response to treatments. In the literature, there are many scales that evaluate balance and functional performance in Parkinson Disease. However there is no validity and reliability study of Dubousset Function Test developed to evaluate balance and functional performance of Parkinson Disease. For this reason, the aim of study is to examine the validity and reliability of Dubousset Function Test in Parkinson Disease.
Fraility; It is an age-related biological syndrome. It is characterized by decreased resistance to stressors due to changes in functional reserves and physiological systems. BESTest, which is frequently used in the literature, was modified and Frail'BESTest was developed to detect balance problems in fragile individuals. The test consists of 6 subtitles. These are participation, reaction, movement ability, sensory organization, biomechanical constraints, gait symmetry. When looking at the literature, the Turkish version of Frail'BESTest has not been found. For this reason, the aim of study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of Frail'BESTest in elderly individuals and to question the effectiveness of its clinical use and to bring it to the use of other researchers.
Postural deformity and postural instability that occur with aging are risk factors for falling. In the literature, there are many scales that evaluate balance and functional performance in older adults. However there is no validity and reliability study of Dubousset Function Test developed to evaluate balance and functional performance of older adults. For this reason, the aim of study is to examine the validity and reliability of Dubousset Function Test in older adults.
The most important cause of mortality and morbidity with the geriatric population is loss of balance and the consequent falls, which is seen very often. The goal of our study is to examine the effects of plantar sensation education-based exercises on balance and falls.Materials and methods: 16 healthy, voluntary nursing home residents with the average age 77.50±5.5. Individuals had plantar sensory exercises 40 min sessions for 3 days/week during eight weeks. The study was planned as a self-controlled prospective study. Functional balance was evaluated using Berg Balance Scale, dynamic balance was evaluated using 30 Second Chair Stand Test, static balance and fall risk were assessed using Biodex Balance System.
To explore the feasibility of a novel ballet-inspired low-impact at-home workout programme for community-dwelling stroke survivors in Hong Kong.
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) and conventional therapies (CT) on pain, balance and proprioceptive sensation of cervical region in patients with chronic neck pain. As a cross-over study, patients were divided into BBAT / CT (n=17) and CT / BBAT (n=18) groups. BBAT program has been implemented to patients within group BBAT / CT two days a week for 6 weeks while group CT / BBAT received the CT program during the same period. After the interval of 5-week, group BBAT / CT was treated with CT and group CT / BBAT was treated with BBAT. Pain severity with; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), disability level with; Neck Disability Index (NDI), cervical proprioception with; Cervical Range of Motion Deluxe (CROM) device, balance with; Computerized Dynamic Posturography were evaluated. The evaluations were conducted before and after the first and second treatment.
