Brief Summary

There is a need for a culturally adapted screening tool to aid health care professionals or clinicians screen for the presence of fall and balance issues associated with injuries in saraiki population. Furthermore, while culturally adapting the scale is necessary, it is important that changes do not alter the original intent, which requires it to be broad, comprehensible and applicable to the entire population. As saraiki language is the most-used language in the South Punjab, translating and adapting the ABC scale to the saraiki population while accounting for its sociocultural characteristics is an important task. So, I decided to conduct a tool translation and validation study. This study will help the clinicians to assess their patient's confidence and balance easily through the saraiki version of ABC scale in saraiki population and hence will help in timely management of the balance.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Saraiki version of Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale

  The ABC scale is a 16-item questionnaire with 11-point subscales that assess the level of confidence in performing a specific task without losing balance or becoming unsteady. Each item score ranges from 0% (no confidence) to 100% (total confidence) and the total score of the S-ABC is obtained by adding up the ratings (0-160) and then dividing by 16

• Twelve Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12)

  The 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) is a multipurpose, generic, 12-item questionnaire developed from the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36). The SF-12 generates a Physical Component Summary scale score (PCS-SF12) and a Mental Component Summary scale score (MCS-SF12). Several studies have reported its validity and reliability as a measure of health-related quality of life in different populations.
