In this study we will observe the reliability and validity of Tinetti Balance assessment scale,(POMA) in Urdu language in Pakistani geriatric population with balance impairment. Also, check the improvement in assessment and rehabilitation in geriatrics with balance problem.
Read the detailed description
The aim of study is to translate and culturally adapt Tinetti balance assessment scale (POMA) into Urdu language and secondly to investigate the reliability and validity of Tinetti Balance assessment scale (POMA) in geriatrics Pakistani population.This study will be cross sectional survey study in which convenience sampling technique will be used. Two scales will be performed by patient Tinetti Balance assessment scale and Berg Balance Scale (evaluate balance), Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) (measure functional mobility) for comparison and data will be collected. The results of study will help to know the validity and reliability of Tinetti Balance assessment scale (POMA) in Urdu version with balance impairments in geriatric population.
