Balance and coordination are important for performing activities of daily living. Balance and coordination assessment and training are used by physiotherapists in many different rehabilitation areas. Marmara Balance and Education System (MarBES) is a device developed to evaluate and improve balance and coordination.
To examine the test-retest reliability of the MarBES device.
Double-leg and single-leg (eyes open-closed) tests were applied to healthy young adult participants for balance testing on the MarBES device. Weight data is estimated from pressure sensors located in 4 different corners and a score is calculated with computer software for the individual's center of gravity (center of pressure X, Y) and the amount of deviation from the center for each axis. Weight transfer to the target surface was measured for assessment of the participants' coordination performance. Participants rested for 10 min and all measurements were repeated by the same evaluator. The obtained data were recorded and the reliability of the measurements was evaluated with Spearman's rho correlation analysis.
A total of 40 healthy young individuals (28 female) with a mean age of 21 years were included. The balance assessments with MarBES showed moderate to good reliability (ICC: 0.535-0.903). The coordination assessment results showed moderate to good reliability (ICC: 0.575-0.712).
Objective evaluation of balance and coordination parameters is very important in rehabilitation. Results of the study showed that the MarBES device developed by the researchers is a reliable method for the evaluation of balance and coordination in healthy young individuals.
平衡和协调能力对于进行日常生活活动很重要。物理治疗师在许多不同的康复领域会使用平衡和协调能力评估及训练方法。马尔马拉平衡与教育系统（MarBES）是一种为评估和改善平衡与协调能力而开发的设备。
检验MarBES设备的重测信度。
对健康的年轻成年参与者在MarBES设备上进行双腿和单腿（睁眼 - 闭眼）测试以评估平衡能力。通过位于4个不同角落的压力传感器估算体重数据，并使用计算机软件计算个体重心（压力中心X、Y）以及每个轴向上偏离中心的偏差量得分。测量向目标表面的体重转移情况以评估参与者的协调能力表现。参与者休息10分钟后，由同一名评估者重复所有测量。记录获得的数据，并使用Spearman秩相关分析评估测量的信度。
共纳入40名平均年龄为21岁的健康年轻个体（28名女性）。MarBES的平衡评估显示出中等至良好的信度（组内相关系数：0.535 - 0.903）。协调评估结果显示出中等至良好的信度（组内相关系数：0.575 - 0.712）。
在康复过程中，对平衡和协调参数进行客观评估非常重要。研究结果表明，研究人员开发的MarBES设备是评估健康年轻个体平衡和协调能力的可靠方法。
