Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Berg Balance Test

  It is a 14-item scale that evaluates the tasks used in daily life activities.Standing up without support, standing without support, sitting without support, standing up, transfers, standing with feet, standing with legs while standing, reaching out while standing, picking up from the ground, looking back, 360 degree rotation, firm side standing on the stool, one foot standstill and standstill functions are evaluated.Each item is planned between 0-4; 0 is unable to fulfill the task, 4 is to fulfill the task successfully. The total score of the test is between 0-56.0-20 points: wheelchair dependent, 21-40: assisted walking, 41-56: means independent ambulation.

  15 minutes

• Functional Reach Test

  Subjects will asked to stand comfortably, to make a fist, and to raise their arm until it was parallel to the yardstick (position 1). The placement of the end of the third metacarpal along the yardstick will recorded. Subjects will then asked to reach as far forward as they could without losing their balance (position 2), and the position of the end of the third metacarpal along the yardstick will again recorded. No attempt will make to control the subject's method of reach, but if he will touch the wall or took a step during the maneuver, that trial will consider invalid and repeated.

  5 minutes

• Time Up and Go Test

  This test is applied to assess the risk of falling and mobility.This test starts with the individual leaving the chair without receiving arm support by giving the go command while sitting in a chair.The distance of 3 meters is asked to return and sit again in the chair.The elapsed time is recorded in seconds.

  5 minutes

• 10 Meter Walk Tests

  Walking speed are measure by timing subjects over 10 meters with a stopwatch. To avoid the effects of acceleration and deceleration, measurements take over the middle 10 meters of a 14-meter walkway. It is repeated 2 times.

  3 minutes

• Falls Efficacy Scale

  FES is a 10-item scale and these items are; To enter and get out of bed, to sit and stand on the chair, to take a bath or shower, to dress and undress, to lie on the shelves, to walk in the house, to answer the door or phone, to prepare food without lifting heavy objects and to do simple shopping. Individuals score between 0 (not safe) and 10 (very safe) for each question, and when all scores are summed, a total score between 0 and 100 is obtained.
