Brief Summary

Increased muscle tone, decreased normal range of motion, and functional impairments may result in decreased load on the affected limb, deviations in gait patterns, balance and coordination disorders in individuals with stroke. In the literature, there are many scales that evaluate balance and functional performance in stroke. However there is no validity and reliability study of Dubousset Function Test developed to evaluate balance and functional performance of stroke. For this reason, the aim of study is to examine the validity and reliability of Dubousset Function Test in stroke patients.

Stroke Syndrome; Balance; Distorted; Walking, Difficulty

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Dubousset Function Test

  The four components of the DFT included (1) the Up Walking Test: participants rose without assistance from a and seated position in a chair that did not have arms, walked 5 meters (500 cm) forward before stopping, walked backwards 5 meters, and sat again without assistance; (2) the Steps Test: from a starting position 50 cm away, volunteers climbed three stairs, turned around on the third step (top), and walked down the three steps; (3) Down and Sitting Test: from a standing position, participants sat on the ground and stood up again, using assistance as needed; (4) Dual-Tasking Test: participants walked 5 meters forward, turned around, and walked 5 meters back to the starting position while performing a working memory test (counting down from 50 by intervals of 2).

  First day

• timed up and go test

  A standard chair is used for testing. First, the patient is asked to sit on the chair. The patient is then asked to stand up and walk regularly at a distance of 3 meters with a predetermined length, then return to the chair after 3 meters

  first day

• 3-m backwards walk test

  A distance of 3 m is measured and marked with black tape. Individuals are asked to follow the heel and black band. With the 'start' command they are asked to walk backwards quickly. When the distance of 3 m is completed, a stop is instructed. Individuals are not allowed to run during the test. They are allowed to look back if they wish. The assessor walks behind individuals throughout the test. The test is repeated 3 times, the averages are recorded

  first day

• Tinetti Balance and Gait Test

  In the test used to evaluate balance, walking score is maximum 12 points, balance score is maximum 16 points and a total of 28 points.

  first day

• Berg Balance Test

  The BBS consists of 14 items to directly monitor the maintenance of body balance during performance

  first day

• Funtional Reach Test

  It is used to measure both the balance of the individual functionally and the amount of dynamic reach
