Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to conduct a Turkish validity and reliability study of the hand ability scale in the elderly population. Thus, the psychometric properties of the scale, which evaluates hand use in daily life activities in detail and functionally, will be determined in the elderly and an alternative method will be created to evaluate hand functions in the elderly.The sample of the study consists of 220 elderly individuals aged 65 and over residing in the city center of Isparta. Two independent native Turkish translators performed forward translation. To ensure clinical consistency, it was sent to an expert committee of seven expert physiotherapists, 2 neurologists, 1 gerontologist, and 2 translators with no medical or clinical background to reveal vague concepts in the original questionnaire. A single consequent Turkish translation was formed from the combination of the two translations The Turkish scale was translated back into English by two English-native speakers who speak Turkish fluently, and the English version of the scale was compared to the original. A group of experts authorized the final version of the document in Turkish, which was back ward translation. Translators reviewed the translations and compared certain inconsistencies.

Study Population

The sample of the study consists of 220 elderly individuals aged 65 and over residing in the city center of Isparta. The GPower 3.1 program was used to determine the sample size of the study. When the effect size was calculated according to the number of samples taken from a similar study, a rate of 0.24/0.47 was found (8). However, in our study, by choosing the binomial test in the GPower program; after the calculation with an effect size of 0.24 and a power of 95%, it was determined that the sample size should be at least 190 elderly people. In the literature, it is stated that when determining the sample size for factor analysis, an acceptable sample size of 4:1 or 5:1 per item will be sufficient (9).

You may qualify if:

• Being 65 years or older,
