Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• The Sitting Balance Scale

  The Sitting Balance Scale consists of 11 items. Each item is scored between 0 and 4; 0 is worse performance, 4 is best performance. The total score of the test is between 0-44. Higher scores indicate better performance. The scale consists of ''sitting unsupported (eyes open)'', ''sitting unsupported with eyes closed'', ''sitting unsupported with arms as levers'', '' reaching forward with outstretched arm while sitting'', ''pick up an object from the floor while sitting unsupported'', ''placing alternate foot on a Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) while sitting unsupported'', '' reaching laterally with outstretched arm while sitting unsupported'', '' turning to look behind over left and right shoulders while sitting'', '' lateral bend to elbow in sitting'', ''sit to stand transfers'', '' pick up an object from the floor while sitting unsupported on foam''.

• Trunk Impairment Scale

  Trunk Impairment Scale was developed to evaluate motor impairments in the trunk after stroke. It consists of three subscales: static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination. Each subscale contains three to ten items. The Trunk Impairment Scale score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 23.High scores indicate good balance.

  15 minutes

• Berg Balance Scale

  Berg Balance Scale is a scale that includes 14 instructions and scores between 0 and 4 by observing the performance of the patient for each instruction. In cases where the patient cannot do the activity at all, 0 points are given, while 4 points are given when the patient completes the activity independently. The highest score is 56, 0-20 points indicate an imbalance, 21-40 points indicate an acceptable balance, 41-56 points indicate the presence of a good balance. Stand unsupported, standing unsupported, sitting unsupported, standing, transfers, standing with feet, standing, standing, standing, picking up, looking back, 360 degrees rotation, hard side stool standing, one foot stand and stand functions are evaluated.

• Function in Sitting Test

  The Function in Sitting Test consists of 14 items designed similar to both functional performance and current criteria of balance. The Function Test in Sitting items test various movements, strategies, and simple and complex movement patterns while sitting. Scale, 'front thrust', 'back push', 'side push', 'static sitting', 'nodding as if sitting' no ',' sitting with eyes closed ' , '' lift the foot when sitting '', '' take the back material '', '' reach forward '', '' reach out to the side '', '' pick up the object '', '' move backward '', '' move forward '' Includes "sideways" items. An ordered scale (0-4) is used to score each test item: 0 is fully assisted, 4 completes tasks independently. The total score range of the Function Test in Sitting is 0-56.

  10 minutes

• Barthel Index

  The Barthel Index consists of 10 items. These items include feeding, washing, self-care, dressing, defecation control, urine control, ability to go to the toilet, ability to move from bed to wheelchair, walking or wheelchair dependency, and climbing stairs. The items are scored over 5-15 points (0-15 points in 5 point increments according to the question). The main purpose of the evaluation made with this scale is to determine to what extent the patient performed these actions independently without any physical or verbal help. The total score is between 0-100: 0-20: fully dependent, 21-61: highly dependent, 62-90: moderately dependent, 91-99: mildly dependent, 100: independent.
