Cross sectional.
To determine the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability of the Spanish version of the Berg Balance Scale with incomplete spinal cord injured subjects.
CINER Rehabilitation Center.
We administered and video recorded the Spanish version of the Berg Balance Scale to 20 incomplete SCI patients. Two raters scored the videos on two different occasions at least three weeks apart. We used intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and a confidence interval (CI) of 95% to evaluate the inter-rater and intra-rater (test-retest) reliability of the BBS total scores.
ICC values for inter-rater reliability at first and second observation were 0.99 (95% CI 0.97-1.00) and 0.99 (95% CI 0.99-1.00), respectively. Intra-rater ICC for rater 1 was 1.00 (95% CI 1.00-1.00) and for rater 2 was 1.00 (95% CI 0.99-1.00). All of them were excellent.
The results indicate that the Spanish version of the Berg Balance Scale is a reliable tool to evaluate spinal cord injured patients' balance.
横断面研究。
确定 Berg 平衡量表西班牙语版在不完全性脊髓损伤患者中的评定者间信度和评定者内信度。
CINER 康复中心。
我们对 20 名不完全性脊髓损伤患者进行 Berg 平衡量表西班牙语版的测试和录像。两名评定者在至少相隔 3 周的两次不同时间对录像进行评分。我们使用组内相关系数(ICC)和 95%置信区间(CI)来评估 BBS 总分的评定者间信度和评定者内信度(测试-重测)。
第一次和第二次观察的评定者间信度 ICC 值分别为 0.99(95% CI 0.97-1.00)和 0.99(95% CI 0.99-1.00)。评定者 1 的评定者内 ICC 值为 1.00(95% CI 1.00-1.00),评定者 2 的 ICC 值为 1.00(95% CI 0.99-1.00)。所有这些都是极好的。
结果表明 Berg 平衡量表西班牙语版是评估脊髓损伤患者平衡能力的可靠工具。
