Turkish Version of the Mini-BESTest: Transcultural Adaptation and Validation Study in Stroke Patients

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
mini-BESTest (Turkish version), Berg Balance Test, Timed Up and Go Test and Functional Reach Test will be used for balance measurement in patients and the correlation of the mini-BEST with these tests will be checked.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The first part of the study is the Turkish translation of mini-BESTest. After the translation process, mini-BESTest (Turkish version), Berg Balance Test, Timed Up and Go Test and Functional Reach Test will be used for balance measurement in patients and the correlation of the mini-BEST with these tests will be checked. All tests will be applied by 2 researchers on the same day, 2 times with 10 minutes intervals.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Stroke<br>Stroke patients who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic, met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to participate in the study | Diagnostic Test: mini-BESTest (Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test)<br>* Balance evaluation test that has 14 tasks leading to a total possible score of 28 points requires only 10 to 15 minutes to conduct.<br>Diagnostic Test: Berg Balance Scale<br>* The scale is a 14-item objective measure designed to assess static balance and fall risk in adult populations.<br>Diagnostic Test: Timed Up and Go Test<br>* It is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down.<br>Diagnostic Test: Functional Reach Test<br>* The Functional Reach Test is a single item test developed as a quick screen for balance problems in older adults. A score of 6 or less indicates a significant increased risk for falls. A score between 6-10 inches indicates a moderate risk for falls.<br>|
