Abstract

Purpose: To examine the relationship between two functional balance tests, which are frequently used in stroke rehabilitation, with activities of daily living. Material and Method: Fifty-nine patients who had a stroke were included in the study. Descriptive features of the cases were recorded. The Barthel Index was used to evaluate the activities of daily living of the patients, and the Functional Reach Test and the Timed Up&Go Test were used to evaluate their functional balance. Results: The mean age of the patients was 48.42±12.38 years. While there was a moderate correlation (r=0.502) between the Timed Up & Go Test and the Barthel Index, there was a weak correlation (r=0.333) between the Functional Reach Test and the Barthel Index (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although both balance tests were associated with activities of daily living, the Timed Up&Go Test showed stronger correlation. These two tests, which are reliable and valid measurements in the evaluation of post-stroke balance disorder, are easy to apply and can be performed in a short time. In our study, we think that we have contributed to the advantageous aspects of these tests in terms of research and clinical use by revealing the relationships with daily life activities.

Özet

Amaç: İnmeli bireylerde denge değerlendirilmesinde sıklıkla kullanılan 2 fonksiyonel denge testinin günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya inme geçiren 59 olgu dahil edildi. Olguların tanımlayıcı özellikleri kaydedildi. Olguların günlük yaşam aktivitelerini değerlendirmek için Barthel İndeksi, fonksiyonel dengelerini değerlendirmek için de Fonksiyonel Uzanma Testi ve Zamanlı Kalk ve Yürü Testi uygulandı. Sonuçlar: Olguların yaş ortalaması 48,42±12,38 yıldı. Zamanlı Kalk ve Yürü Testi ile Barthel İndeksi arasında orta derecede ilişki (r= 0,502) bulunurken, Fonksiyonel Uzanma Testi ile Barthel İndeksi arasında ise zayıf derecede ilişki (r= 0,331) bulundu (p<0,05). Tartışma: Kullanılan iki denge testi de günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ile ilişkili bulunmasına rağmen, Zamanlı Kalk ve Yürü Testi ile daha kuvvetli korelasyon göstermiştir. İnme sonrası denge bozukluğunun değerlendirilmesinde güvenilir ve geçerli ölçümler olan bu iki testin, kolay uygulanmaları ve kısa sürede yapılabilmeleri en büyük avantajlarıdır. Biz de çalışmamızda bu testlerin günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ile ilişkilerini ortaya koyarak, araştırma ve klinik kullanım açısından avantajlı yönlerine katkı sağladığımızı düşünüyoruz.
