The Turkish Validity and Reliability of "Toe Walking Scale" in Children With Idiopathic Toe Walking

Completed

• Conditions: Rehabilitation; Reliability; Validity; Exercise

• Registration Number: NCT03596021
• Lead Sponsor: Bezmialem Vakif University

Brief Summary

In clinics, many scales have been developed to examine daily living activities and function in children with idiopatic toe walking. "The Idiopatic Toe Walking (ITW)" was developed in 2010 by Cylie M.Williams, contains 21 items which measure medical, birth \& developmental history and assessment. The aim of the investigator's study was to investigate translating the ITW scale and using it in clinics reliably and valiably with a Turkish version of ITW in children with idiopatic toe walking.

Detailed Description

Demographic information was recorded which are included gender, age, using orthosis, botox/surgical history, use and duration of walkers/child-runner (WCR). The scale was translated into Turkish with the following translation steps. Thirty four children with idiopatic toe walking were included in the study. Internal structure consistency and test-retest reliability were measured for reliability analyses. For each item on the scale, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total score correlations were calculated. The scale was administered for test-retest reliability at baseline and one week later by one rater. Test-retest reliability was assessed by Pearson's correlation test with observational gait analysis and 'co-validity' was investigated, statistically.
