Abstract

The aim of our study was to determine the reliability and the validity of the Turkish-language version of the Toe Walking Tool (TWT) in idiopathic toe walking children."Toe Walking Tool” contains 21-items which measure medical, birth & developmental history and assessment. Demographic information of 34 children was recorded. The tool was translated into Turkish with the following translation steps. Internal structure consistency and test-retest reliability were measured for reliability analyses. For each item on the tool, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total score correlations were calculated. Turkish Version of Toe Walking Tool (TWT-TR) showed good test-retest reliability (ICC: 0.674). Lower and upper bound ranged of Cronbach's alpha coefficient in the internal structure consistency analysis was calculated between 0.476-0.823. These data suggest that the TWT-TR is a valid and reliable clinical tool in idiopathic toe walking children.

Özet

Çalışmamızda amacımız idiopatik parmak ucu yürüyen çocuklarda “Toe Walking Tool (TWT)” ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu ile geçerlik ve güvenirliğini belirlemektir. "Toe Walking Tool" tıbbi, doğum ve gelişim öyküsünü ve değerlendirmeyi ölçen 21 maddeyi içerir. 34 çocuğun demografik bilgileri kaydedildi. Ölçek çeviri adımlarıyla Türkçeye çevrildi. Güvenilirlik analizleri için iç yapı tutarlılığı ve test-tekrar test güvenilirliği kullanılmıştır. Her bir madde için Cronbach alfa katsayısı ve madde-toplam puan korelasyonları hesaplanmıştır. “Toe Walking Tool”'un Türkçe Versiyonu (TWT-TR) iyi test-tekrar test güvenilirliği göstermiştir (ICC: 0,674). İç yapı tutarlılık analizinde Cronbach alfa katsayısının alt ve üst sınır aralıkları 0,476-0,823 arasında hesaplanmıştır. Sonuçlarımız TWT-TR'nin idiyopatik parmak ucu yürüyen çocuklarda geçerli ve güvenilir bir klinik ölçek olduğunu göstermiştir.
