The 3-m backward walk test (3MBWT) is used to evaluate neuromuscular control, proprioception, protective reflexes, fall risk and balance. The aim of our study was to reveal the test-retest reliability and validity of the 3MBWT in Multiple Sclerosis patients. Our study will be done as a "test-retest" design and psychometric properties of 3 m backward walking test in MS patients will be examined. Mini Mental State Examination, 3 m walk back test, Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go, Timed 25 Step Walking Test and 4-Square Step Test will be applied to the patients. All evaluations will be made by the same physiotherapist. The second and third evaluation (retest) will be performed by the same physiotherapist two days after the first evaluation (test) and 2 weeks later to measure test-retest reliability. It will be preferable to collect data with the same evaluator to avoid inter-rater error rate between evaluations. It will be preferable to collect data with the same evaluator to avoid inter-rater error rate between evaluations. The sample size, according to Lexell and Downham (2005), 40-50 participants should be included in reliability studies. Considering this recommendation, which defines the reliability of 3MBWT, it is planned to include 50 individuals with MS in our study.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | 3 Meter Backward Walking Test | The 3-meter distance is marked with a black tape and the participants are asked to align their heels with black tape. Individuals are asked to walk backwards as soon as possible with the "walk" command and stop when they reach 3 meters. Meanwhile, the elapsed time is recorded in seconds. The evaluation will take place three times and the average time will be recorded. | 2 weeks | |
Primary | Berg Balance Scale | It was designed for quantitative evaluation of balance and determination of fall risk, and was chosen because it evaluates individuals' ability to maintain their balance while performing functional activities. According to the scores obtained from the test in question, the cases were divided into groups as "high fall risk (0-20 points)", "medium fall risk (21-40 points)", "low fall risk (41-56)". score) ". Fifty-six, the highest score, is considered to show the best balance. Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Sahin et al. | 1 day | |
Primary | Timed Get Up and Go Test | It is applied to assess the balance and fall risk of individuals. The patient is first asked to sit on a chair. The patient is then asked to stand up, walk regularly at a predetermined distance of 3 meters, return at the end of 3 meters and sit on a chair. The walking time of the patient during the test is recorded with the stopwatch in seconds. The test was repeated three times and the average value will be recorded | 1 day | |
Primary | 4-Square Step Test | Aims to evaluate dynamic balance and stepping forward, side and back over objects. Using tape, 1 horizontal and 1 vertical line is made in the form of diagonal 4 divisions. At the start of the test, the individual stands in the upper left square. Then they step clockwise with both feet before moving on to the next frame: first to the right, then back, then to the left, and finally to the back position. They immediately follow this by stepping counterclockwise. After 1 application attempt, the time is saved for the next 2 attempts and the best 1 attempt is counted. Among older adults living in the community, over 15 seconds has been associated with an increased risk of falling | 1 day |
