Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to describe the cultural adaptation of the Ottawa Sitting Scale and to examine the factor structure, reliability and validity of the scale in patients with stroke. The scale will be translated into Turkish language by following the procedure. 80 patients will be recruited in the study. Berg Balance Scale and Trunk Impairment Scale will be included with Turkish Ottawa Sitting Scale to test the validity. Outcome measures will be repeated by a second physiotherapist the day after the first assessment for interrater reliability and conducted twice within 2 weeks (test-retest) for reliability. The interrater and intrarater reliability of the Ottawa sitting scale will be determined using intraclass correlation coefficients and internal consistency will be assessed using Cronbach's alpha.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Ottawa sitting scale

  A balance measurement scale for acute stroke patients. The scale tests the patient on a total of 10 items while sitting, with 5 items with eyes open and 5 items with eyes closed. An ordered scale (0-4) is used to score each item. The total score range of the scale is 0-40. Higher scores indicate a better outcome

  Measurements will start with the first patient hospitalized (estimated in March 2021) and end with the evaluation of the 80th patient (estimated period of 12 months)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Berg balance scale

  Measurements will start with the first patient hospitalized (estimated in March 2021) and end with the evaluation of the 80th patient (estimated period of 12 months)

• Trunk Impairment scale

  Measurements will start with the first patient hospitalized (estimated in March 2021) and end with the evaluation of the 80th patient (estimated period of 12 months)

Interventions

Ottawa sitting scale DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
