研究概览
简要总结
This study is planned to translate the Fear of Falling Avoidance Behaviour Questionnaire (FFABQ) into Turkish and to assess the psychometric properties (validity, reliability, responsiveness, floor and ceiling effect) of this Turkish version.
详细描述
The permission for the Turkish version was received by Landers. The translation will be made according to Beaton et al. guidelines. The internal reliability of the FFABQ Türkish version will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and item analyses will be conducted by examining the effect on Cronbach's alpha of excluding each of the six FOG-Q items individually. The test-retest reliability will be assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
Convergent validity will be evaluated by means of Spearman rank correlation coefficient (rs). In this section will be determined the correlation between the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale and visual analog scale for fear of falling.

结局指标
主要结局
Fear of Falling Avoidance Behavior Questionnaire (FFABQ)
时间窗: 7 minutes
The FFABQ quantifies avoidance behavior (activity limitation and participation restriction) related to the fear of falling. It consists of 14 items ranked using the Likert-style, 5-point ordinal scale as described above, resulting in a total possible score of 56 points. A high score indicates greater activity limitation and participation restriction as a result of the fear of the falling.
次要结局
- Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC)(10 minutes)
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Fear of Balance(2 minutes)
