| Popis: | BACKGROUND Balance disorders cause disability in stroke and increase risk of falls. The Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest), examines balance, determines parameters causing balance disorders, provides information on risk factors for falls. OBJECTIVE To investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the BESTest in determining the risk of falls in stroke patients. METHODS Fifty patients with chronic stroke were included in the study. Balance was assessed using BESTest, Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Activity Specific Balance Confidence scale (ABC) and Biodex-BioSway Balance System. To examine the content validity of BESTest, the relationship between BESTest and other balance assessment methods was examined. The internal consistency reliability of BESTest was evaluated by Cronbach's α coefficient. Analysis of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) was performed to determine cut-off point, sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS BESTest, BBS, ABC and Biodex-BioSway Balance System results of faller stroke patients were worse than that of non-faller (p |
