| Balance. Timepoint: 12 weeks. Method of measurement: The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) is one of the most widely used tools for balance assessment. The BBS is a 14-item scale that quantitatively assesses balance and risk for falls in older community-dwelling adults through direct observation of their performance. The scale requires 10 to 20 minutes to complete and measures the patient’s ability to maintain balance—either statically or while performing various functional movements for a specified duration of time. The items are scored from 0 to 4, with a score of 0 representing an inability to complete the task and a score of 4 representing independent item completion. A global score is calculated out of 56 possible points. Scores of 0 to 20 represent balance impairment, 21 to 40 represent acceptable balance, and 41 to 56 represent good balance. The BBS measures both static and dynamic aspects of balance.;Gait mobility. Timepoint: 12 weeks. Method of measurement: The TUG test is a composite measure of functional mobility. The TUG was originallycreated to predict fall risk in geriatric patients. It includes executive function (listening andinitiating movements), transfer tasks (standing up and sitting down), walking, and balance.The TUG is performed by having the patient seated in a chair and with the command “go”,rise from the chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, return to chair and sit. The trial is timedfrom when the patient’s back leaves the backrest to when the patient returns to the seatedposition, and the patient is allowed one practice trial. TUG score of 13.5 seconds or morecould rule in the risk of a fall.;Risk of fall. Timepoint: 12 weeks. Method of measurement: The Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I) is a measure of “fear of falling” or “concerns about falling”. The FES-I is intended to be used in adult population to measure the level of concern about falling during social and physical activities inside and outside the home whether or not the person actual | — |
