简要总结
Two balance assessment tools that have been used recently have attracted considerable attention: the Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Test (cognitive) (DTUG) and the 3-m Backward Walk Test (3MBWT). The aim of this study is to compare the psychometric properties of two clinically proven balance assessment tools.
详细描述
There are unidimensional and multidimensional scales used to evaluate gait balance after stroke. Unidimensional scales (DTUG, 3MBWT) can be useful in clinical practice and in screening for basic balance problems. Two balance assessment tools that have been used recently have attracted considerable attention: the Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Test (cognitive) (DTUG) and the 3-m Backward Walk Test (3MBWT). The aim of this study is to compare the psychometric properties of two clinically proven balance assessment tools. In the study, construct validity, concurrent validity, reliability, and cut-off score (for determining falling risk) of the two tests will be calculated.

结局指标
主要结局
Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Test (cognitive)
时间窗: 5 minutes
It evaluates balance and functional mobility with a simultaneous cognitive and motor task. The cognitive task of the test is 3-series subtraction, while the TUG test is the motor task. Performance is recorded in seconds.
3-m Backward Walk Test
时间窗: 5 minutes
It is used to assess fall risk and balance. It is calculated in how many seconds an individual can walk backwards a marked distance of 3 meters.
