Abstract

Falls can be considered a disabling feature in Parkinson’s disease. We aimed to identify risk factors for falling, testing simultaneously the ability of disease-specific and balance-related measures. We evaluated 171 patients, collecting demographic and clinical data, including standardized assessments with the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), activities of daily living (ADL) and motor sections, modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale, Schwab and England, eight-item Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire, Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale, Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), Berg Balance Scale, Dynamic Gait Index, Functional Reach, and Timed Up and Go. ROC curves were constructed to determine the cutoff scores for all measures. Variables with P 16 points (OR = 10.0; 95% CI = 3.6–28.3), FES-I > 30 points (OR = 6.0; 95% CI = 1.6–22.6), and Berg ≤ 48 points (OR = 3.9; 95% CI = 1.2–12.7).We encourage the utilization of these modifiable risk factors in the screening of fall risk.

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 235690.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) BACKGROUND: The use of the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's Disease is limited in countries where the official language is not English. OBJECTIVE: To provide practical steps on how to translate the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's Disease. METHODS: We used the translation process of the Portuguese version as an example of how to define the recommended steps. A combination of a forward-backward-translation and dual-panel approach was used. RESULTS: Ten recommended translation steps were defined: (1) authorization, (2) translation of sample chapter, (3) physiotherapy expert panel review, (4) backward translation, (5) approval by copyright holders, (6) translation of the remaining sections of the guideline, (7) review of the entire translation by expert panel, (8) review by a user panel, (9) conclude final draft, (10) publication and dissemination. Several adjustments were needed in the Portuguese version. CONCLUSION: The additional adjustments that were required for the Portuguese version justify the need for the detailed and multifaceted translation process that was outlined in this manuscript.

Abstract

The use of the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's Disease is limited in countries where the official language is not English.To provide practical steps on how to translate the European Physiotherapy Guideline for Parkinson's Disease.We used the translation process of the Portuguese version as an example of how to define the recommended steps. A combination of a forward-backward-translation and dual-panel approach was used.Ten recommended translation steps were defined: (1) authorization, (2) translation of sample chapter, (3) physiotherapy expert panel review, (4) backward translation, (5) approval by copyright holders, (6) translation of the remaining sections of the guideline, (7) review of the entire translation by expert panel, (8) review by a user panel, (9) conclude final draft, (10) publication and dissemination. Several adjustments were needed in the Portuguese version.The additional adjustments that were required for the Portuguese version justify the need for the detailed and multifaceted translation process that was outlined in this manuscript.
