Not Applicable

• Conditions: Stroke; Balance; Distorted
• Interventions: 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

• Registration Number: NCT04568070
• Lead Sponsor: Istanbul Medeniyet University

Brief Summary

"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.

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.
