UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:120955109 AB - In all, 30 patients (18 men and 12 women) with a mean (standard deviation) age of 57.4 (16.97) years (range, 25-85 years) who were admitted to the "Kaifukuki" rehabilitation ward voluntarily participated in this study. In the reliability study, 2 physiotherapists independently classifi ed the level of static postural control ability by using SIDE. Functional balance control ability was simultaneously evaluated using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Cohen's κ statistic was used to determine the inter-rater reliability, and the Spearman rank-correlation coeffi cient between the BBS score and SIDE level was used to determine the criterion-related validity. Results: Inter-rater reliability of SIDE showed excellent reproducibility (Cohen's κ statistic = 0.76). Criterion-related validity was very high between SIDE levels and BBS scores (Spearman rank-correlation coeffi cient = 0.93; p < 0.01). Conclusion: SIDE can be used to effi ciently and accurately classify balance control ability across individuals and has remarkable concurrent validity in balance evaluation compared to BBS. ER -
