Background Balance dysfunction is common in stroke patients. The Berg Scale (BBS) useful for evaluating the balance function of patients, and it can estimate minimal clinically important difference (MCID) balance. BBS scores differ among patients depending on whether they require walking assistance. MCID should thus be estimated separately who assistance those do not.Objectives To individuals have had an early subacute a aid not, to assist clinical determination effectiveness therapy.Methods...
After confirming the measurement properties of Berg Balance Scale (BBS) in patients with stroke by conducting a Rasch analysis, this study sought: (i) to generate keyform as tool for goal-setting and intervention-planning; (ii) determine appropriate strata separating patients' postural balance ability.Methodological analyses cross-sectional data.A pooled sample 156 stroke: mean (standard deviation) age 74.4 (12.9) years.This evaluated BBS's rating scale structure, unidimensionality, accuracy...
Abstract Objective Balance problems are common in patients with stroke, and the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) is a reliable valid assessment tool for measuring balance function. Determining minimal clinically important difference (MCID) crucial assessing treatment effectiveness. This study aimed to determine MCID of Mini-BESTest early subacute stroke. Methods In this prospective multicenter study, 53 stroke undergoing rehabilitation inpatient units were included. The...
Background The Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale lacks sufficient psychometric evidence for use in patients with subacute stroke. Objective To investigate the floor and ceiling effects, construct validity, responsiveness, minimal important change (MIC) of ABC Methods cases stroke (n = 62) were analyzed floor/ceiling effects validity at baseline; those 39 responsiveness MIC baseline after 4 weeks. Outcome measures included scale, Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test...
To identify the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) values that can be used to discriminate use of a walking aid and BBS sub-items reveal differences in aids among hospitalized older adults with hip fracture.The cases 77 (age 80.8 ± 7.5 years) fracture who were able walk independently hospital retrospectively analyzed. A receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) analysis was scores optimized identification subjects different levels aids. The identifying differing identified by classification...
The aim of the current study was to identify a cut-off value for predicting walking independence at discharge in older adults with hip fracture based on their Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score admission convalescent rehabilitation ward.This retrospective, multicenter, observational 187 fractures (mean age 83.7, range 66-97 years). Data collected patients' age, sex, treatment, and physical function evaluation. An ordinal logistic regression analysis used predictors associated degree discharge....
Objectives: The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is a core measure of balance function in patients with stroke. Latent rank theory (LRT) statistical method that enables the degree functional impairment to be ranked from sub-items rating scale; each can then characterized. Identification characteristics by would beneficial for interventions improve This study aims use LRT and characterize stroke impairment. Methods: was multicenter retrospective analysis 293 subacute We used BBS estimate optimal...
Purpose The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is the smallest significant in treatment identified as crucial to patient. There no known MCID for Berg Balance Scale (BBS), which measures balance function patients with hip fractures. We aimed calculate of BBS older adults fractures.Materials and methods This a retrospective multicenter clinical study that included 187 was calculated using functional ambulation categories (FACs), were used anchors change scores between admission...
ABSTRACTBackground A Clinical prediction rule (CPR) for determining multi surfaces walking independence in persons with stroke has not been established.Objectives To develop a CPR stroke.Methods This was multicenter retrospective analysis of 419 stroke. We developed Berg Balance Scale (BBS)-model combining the BBS, comfortable speed (CWS) and cognitive impairment, Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest)-model Mini-BESTest, CWS, impairment. logistic regression conducted as...
Vertebral compression fractures, which are commonly associated with older age and osteoporotic have an increased risk of re-fracture. Therefore, improving balance is important to prevent falls. The minimal change (MIC) has been recommended for interpreting clinically meaningful changes in rating scales. MIC the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) use women vertebral fractures not established.
[Purpose] To examine changes in physical activity levels between admission and discharge patients hospitalized after stroke fracture. [Participants Methods] Patients with (n=36) or fracture (n=41) wore an accelerometer during the daytime for three days before discharge. Physical was divided into sedentary behavior (SB), light-intensity (LIPA), moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA), then compared hospital using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The characteristics of without SB hospitalization were Mann-Whitney
Accurate determination of walking independence in older adults after hip fracture surgery is crucial for selecting appropriate strategies and providing fall prevention guidance. We developed validated a clinical prediction rule (CPR) to determine level-surface community with fractures.
Introduction Balance impairment occurs after a hip fracture, but the characteristics of are not clear.Objective To investigate uni-dimensionality, fit statistics, and item difficulty Berg Scale (BBS) in older adults with fracture by conducting Rasch analysis.Methods This was an observational cross-sectional study. The 254 participants were all ≥ 65 years old had been hospitalized for rehabilitation unilateral incurred during fall. We collected their BBS scores at time hospital discharge...
Abstract Objective No reports on factors or Clinical prediction rules (CPRs) associated with walking independence among patients vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are available. Evidence regarding epidemiological rates is also sparse. Here, we sought to ( i ) obtain data the probability of inpatients VCFs achieving independence, and ii develop validate a CPR determine in hospitalized VCFs. Patients Methods We conducted retrospective cross‐sectional observational study aged ≥60 years who...
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship Rohrer index and physical activity on motor function. subjects were 143 elementary school children in 5th 6th grades. Motor function measured based musculoskeletal examination. calculated from height weight, ≥140 defined as a tendency be overweight. Physical investigated using self-reported questionnaire, WHO Health Behaviour School-aged Children Japanese version (HBSC-J). A total 130 students their parents agreed participate study,...
