Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, Investigators will observe the reliability and validity of dynamic gait index in Urdu language in Pakistani geriatric population with balance impairments.


Description:

The aim of study is to translate and culturally adapt DGI into Urdu language and secondly to investigate the reliability and validity of DGI in geriatrics Pakistani population.This study will be cross sectional survey in which convenience sampling technique will be used to enroll participants as per pre-defined criteria. The results of study will help to know the validity and reliability of DGI in Urdu version with balance impairments in geriatric population.The reliability of the scale will be checked through internal consistency and test-retest methods. Internal consistency will be analyzed with Cronbach's alpha value.Test-retest reliability will be assessed using an intraclass correlation coefficient with 60 patients

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Dynamic Gait Index The Dynamic Gait Index tests the participant's ability to maintain balance while walking under different dynamic conditions and at the same time to react to different task requirements. An order scale with four points in the range from 0 to 3. "0" indicates the lowest functional level and "3" the highest functional level. The score of 19 predicts falls in the elderly and> 22 out of 24 in safe ambulances 1st day

Secondary Berg Balance Scale The Berg balance scale is an objective assessment of balance performance based on 14 items common to everyday activities. it is a 14-item scale that rates 0 (unable to perform) to 4 (normal performance) for each item. The total score is 56 points. Higher score higher balance ability. 1st day
Secondary Time Up and Go Test Time Up and Go Test is used determine fall risk and measure the progress of balance, sit to stand and walking, Cut of scores indicating risk of falls by Population Community Dwelling adults - 13.5 in seconds 1st day
