Turkish Version of the Mini-BESTest: Transcultural Adaptation and Validation Study in Stroke Patients

"mini-BESTest (Turkish version)", "Berg Balance Test", "Timed Up and Go Test" and "Functional Reach Test" will be used for balance measurement in patients and the correlation of the mini-BEST with these tests will be checked.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Stroke; Balance; Distorted
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: mini-BESTest (Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test); Diagnostic test: Berg Balance Scale; Diagnostic test: Timed Up and Go Test; Diagnostic test: Functional Reach Test

Detailed Description

The first part of the study is the Turkish translation of mini-BESTest. After the translation process, "mini-BESTest (Turkish version)", "Berg Balance Test", "Timed Up and Go Test" and "Functional Reach Test" will be used for balance measurement in patients and the correlation of the mini-BEST with these tests will be checked. All tests will be applied by 2 researchers on the same day, 2 times with 10 minutes intervals.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Stroke; Stroke patients who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic, met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study

Diagnostic test: mini-BESTest (Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test); Balance evaluation test that has 14 tasks leading to a total possible score of 28 points requires only 10 to 15 minutes to conduct.; Diagnostic test: Berg Balance Scale; The scale is a 14-item objective measure designed to assess static balance and fall risk in adult populations.; Diagnostic test: Timed Up and Go Test; It is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down.; Diagnostic test: Functional Reach Test; The Functional Reach Test is a single item test developed as a quick screen for balance problems in older adults. A score of 6 or less indicates a significant increased risk for falls. A score between 6-10 inches indicates a moderate risk for falls.
