: The Brunel Balance Assessment Scale (BBA) is a valid, reliable scale for evaluating functional balance and mobility in patients with stroke. It should also be fast, simple, portable and inexpensive for use in clinical practice.:The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of Brunel Balance Assessment (BBA-T) in post-stroke patients.: One hundred and five stroke patients (49 female, 56 male) with a mean age of 65.45 ± 11.33 years were included. Standardize Mini-Mental Test (SMMT), BBA, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI) and Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) were performed to the patients.: According to correlation analysis, a very strong relationship was found between first and second evaluation total BBA-T scores (r = 0.909). Cronbach's alpha coefficient was excellent. According to the Pearson correlation analysis performed to test inter-observer reliability, a very high correlation (r = 0.946) was observed among BBA total scores performed by the first and second physiotherapists. The BBA-T correlated with the BBS (r = 0.879), RMI (r = 0.862), and PASS (0.847). There was no floor observed for the BBA-T scale in this sample. However, the ceiling effect was found.: The results of our study indicate that the Turkish version of BBA-T is a reliable and valid balance and mobility scale that can be used in the rehabilitation of stroke patients.
: Brunel 平衡评估量表(BBA)是一种评估中风患者平衡和移动能力的有效、可靠的量表。它也应该快速、简单、便携且价格低廉,适用于临床实践。:本研究旨在评估 Brunel 平衡评估(BBA-T)土耳其语版本在中风后患者中的可靠性和有效性。: 共有 105 名中风患者(49 名女性,56 名男性)入组,平均年龄为 65.45 ± 11.33 岁。对患者进行了标准化简易智力测试(SMMT)、BBA、伯格平衡量表(BBS)、Rivermead 移动指数(RMI)和中风患者姿势评估量表(PASS)。: 根据相关分析,首次和第二次评估的总 BBA-T 评分之间存在非常强的关系(r = 0.909)。Cronbach's alpha 系数为优秀。根据为检验观察者间信度而进行的 Pearson 相关分析,首次和第二位物理治疗师进行的 BBA 总分非常高相关(r = 0.946)。BBA-T 与 BBS(r = 0.879)、RMI(r = 0.862)和 PASS(0.847)相关。在该样本中,BBA-T 量表未观察到地板效应。然而,发现了天花板效应。: 我们的研究结果表明,BBA-T 的土耳其语版本是一种可靠且有效的平衡和移动能力量表,可用于中风患者的康复。
