Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Single Leg Stance Test | 6 weeks | A method used to assess static balance. Participants are asked to stand on one leg with eyes open and arms crossed at chest level. The raised leg should not touch or make contact with the ground. The individual must maintain their position without any jerking, jumping, or touching any nearby objects for support. The time they can maintain the position is recorded in seconds. |
| Libra Swivel Balance Board | 6 weeks | A computer-based device used to assess dynamic balance. The Libra swivel balance board (42 cm long and 42 cm wide) is equipped with a computer system. Dynamic balance is measured using specific software |
| International Physical Activity Questionnaire | 6 weeks | this questionnaire provides information on the time spent on sitting, walking, moderate-intensity, and vigorous-intensity activities. The Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted by Öztürk (2005). It classifies individuals as sedentary, minimally active, or highly active based on MET-minute/week score |
| Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale | 6 weeks | It evaluates fear of movement and injury. The scale consists of 17 items with 4 response options (1 = Strongly Disagree to 4 = Strongly Agree). Higher scores indicate greater kinesiophobia |
| Fatigue Severity Scale | 6 weeks | This scale measures the severity of fatigue over the last week, with 9 questions scored on a 7-point scale. Higher scores (28 or above) indicate severe fatigue. |
| McGill Pain Questionnaire | 6 weeks | Developed by Melzack, this scale assesses pain sensory aspects using 15 descriptive words. Participants rate their pain intensity on a scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe) |
