About this study

Official title: Validity Of The Turkish Version Of Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale In Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale is a well-known tool to evaluate functional balance. Diabetic patients suffer more often from balance disorders than the rest of the population. The aim is to investigate the validity of the Turkish version of ABC short form in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Read the detailed description

Thirty patients with DM will be included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. All the participants will be evaluated by ABC form and Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). The Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS ) will be used for all the patients.

ABC scale is a self-assessment test with 16 items that helps assess balance impairments and falling risk, and it also investigates how confident people are while they are in some specific activities both indoors, and outdoors. Total score changes between 0-100.

The HbA1c values of all patients will be noted if a blood test will be performed in the last three months.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
The patients with diabetes mellitusWhen patients with diabetes mellitus admitted to our outpatient clinic if they have inclusion criteria, we have used the ABC questionnaire. And we have done perform Time Up And Go Test twice respectively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Validity of the Turkish Version of Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale in Patients With Diagnosis of the Diabetes Mellitus Before.

    The Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) is a structured questionnaire that measures an individual's confidence in performing activities without losing balance. Total score ranges from 0% to 100%. Lower than 50 %: low level; 50-80 %: moderate level above 80 %: high level of physical functioning

    Measured: A single point in time (1 day)
