The Timed 360° turn test (T-360° TT) was developed to assess balance and turning ability. Although validity and reliability have been performed in different diseases, validity and reliability have not been performed in individuals with ankle sprain (AS).
The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the T-360° TT in individuals with AS.
The study included 54 individuals with AS. Participants were initially evaluated with T-360° TT, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Biodex Balance System (BBS). To assess test-retest reliability, the T-360° TT was performed again 5 days after the first measurement by the same assessor.
At the end of the study, strong positive correlations were found between T-360° TT with TUG test and BBS ( < 0.05). In addition, T-360° TT had excellent test-retest reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.87).
The T-360° TT is a valid and reliable tool for the evaluation of balance and turning ability in individuals with AS. We also think that it can be used practically in clinical settings because it is a test that can be easily and quickly performed.
定时360°转身测试（T - 360° TT）旨在评估平衡能力和转身能力。尽管该测试在不同疾病中已进行了效度和信度研究，但在踝关节扭伤（AS）患者中尚未开展。
本研究旨在探讨T - 360° TT在AS患者中的效度和信度。
本研究纳入了54例AS患者。参与者首先接受T - 360° TT、定时起立行走测试（TUG）和Biodex平衡系统（BBS）评估。为评估重测信度，同一名评估者在首次测量5天后再次进行T - 360° TT测试。
研究结束时，发现T - 360° TT与TUG测试和BBS之间存在强正相关（<0.05）。此外，T - 360° TT具有出色的重测信度（组内相关系数=0.87）。
T - 360° TT是评估AS患者平衡能力和转身能力的有效且可靠的工具。我们还认为，由于该测试操作简便、快速，可在临床实际应用。
