Tele-Assessment and Face-to-Face Evaluation of Functional Gait Assessment in Multiple Sclerosis

13 juni 2021 uppdaterad av: Perim Zengin, Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa (IUC)

Use of the Functional Gait Assessment in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: Examining Reliability Between Face-to-Face and Online Applications

The aim of the study is to examine the reliability of the method by applying the Functional Gait Assessment in patients with Multiple Sclerosis via online video conferencing. For this purpose, walking of each patient to be included in the study; The evaluation results will be compared and the intra-rater reliability will be investigated by evaluating both face-to-face and online video conferencing methods. Since the Functional Gait Assessment is not available in Turkish, the scale will also be validated by adapting it to Turkish within the scope of the study.

Detaljerad beskrivning

As with all neurological diseases, it is important to use appropriate outcome measurements in the assessment of balance and gait disorders in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), in order to determine the appropriate program for the patient in physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications, both face-to-face and through telerehabilitation. The scale recommended by a clinical practice guide developed with the support of the American Physiotherapy Association (APTA) and the Academy of Neurological Physiotherapy (ANPT) is the Functional Gait Assessment (FGA). According to this proposal, a Turkish version will be made within the scope of the study so that functional walking evaluation can be used in our country. A 2017 study on functional gait assessment and Multiple Sclerosis investigated the validity and sensitivity to changes in the original English version of the test in multiple sclerosis, and as a result, its validity was found for MS. Functional gait assessment does not have a reliability study for Multiple Sclerosis.

Tidsram
Functional Gait Assessment
Tidsram: change from baseline at 15 day
The Functional Gait Assessment is a test designed to assess balance during various walking tasks. This test is a modification of the Dynamic Gait Index to increase reliability and reduce the ceiling effect. This test, which consists of 10 items, evaluates dynamic balance skills such as walking at normal and different speeds, walking with horizontal and vertical head movements, turning quickly, walking over objects, toe-heel walking, walking backwards, walking with eyes closed, and climbing stairs. Each item is scored between 0-3 points; 0 indicates that he is unable to perform that skill or severe gait or balance disorder is observed while performing that skill, and 3 indicates that he has achieved that skill normally. Points 1 and 2 are scored for each task separately for specific situations. Items are added to score the FGA and the maximum total score is set as 30.

Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
Timed 25-Foot Walk Test
Tidsram: Baseline
It is a performance test that provides information about the participant's mobility and leg function. The standardized protocol is very simple. The participant will be requested to walk as quickly and safely as possible (ie maximum walking speed) along a clearly marked, linear 25 feet or 7.62 m track. The participant can use an assistive device while walking. The person will walk two different times on the marked track and the average of two consecutive attempts in seconds will be recorded as a result of the test.
Baseline
Timed Up and Go Test
Tidsram: Baseline
It is a test used to evaluate dynamic balance. The test measures the time it takes a participant to get up from the chair and walk 3 meters at a comfortable pace and return to the chair and sit down. The test begins when the participant gets up from the chair and ends when the participant sits down on the chair again. The time measured is recorded in seconds. A shorter period represents better mobility.
Baseline
Berg Balance Test
Tidsram: Baseline
It is a scale containing 14 instructions and a score of 0-4 is given by observing the patient's performance for each instruction. 0 points are given in cases where the patient cannot perform the activity at all, while 4 points are given when the patient completes the activity independently. The highest score is 56 and 0-20 points indicate balance disorder, 21-40 points indicate an acceptable balance, 41-56 points indicate the presence of a good balance. It takes between 10 and 20 minutes to complete the scale.
Baseline
The Four Square Step Test
Tidsram: Baseline
The Four Square Step Test (FSST) is used to assess dynamic stability and the ability of the subject to step over low objects forward, sideways, and backward.
Baseline
12-item Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale
Tidsram: Baseline
The Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12) is a self-assessment scale which measures the impact of MS on walking. It consists of 12 questions concerning the limitations to walking due to MS during the past 2 weeks. Each item can be answered with 5 options, with 1 meaning no limitation and 5 extreme limitation. A total score can be generated and transformed to a 0 to 100 scale by subtracting the minimum score possible (12) from the patient's score, dividing by the maximum score possible minus the minimum possible (60-12 or 48), and multiplying the result by 100. Walking improvement on the MSWS-12 is indicated by negative change scores.
