Filter by: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.
The 3 m walk-back test is used to assess neuromuscular control, proprioception, protective reflexes, fall risk, and balance. In a study of healthy elderly adults, a 3-m walk-back test showed better diagnostic accuracy compared to the most commonly used measurement methods for falls in the past year. Reliability is extremely important, especially for research and clinical applications. In order to assess the risk of falling, measurement methods need to be reliable and change accurately over time. 3 m walk back test was found to be reliable in healthy elderly individuals. However, there are no studies investigating the validity and reliability of this test in stroke patients.
