Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Clinical Assessment Tools

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) significantly impacts patients' functional abilities, including sitting balance.
  • Accurate assessment of sitting balance is crucial for effective rehabilitation strategies in MS.
  • Validated tools are needed to evaluate sitting balance in diverse linguistic populations, such as Turkish-speaking MS patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Ottawa Sitting Scale (OSS-TR).
  • To determine if the OSS-TR is a suitable instrument for assessing sitting balance in Turkish patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved 52 patients with multiple sclerosis, diagnosed via McDonald criteria.
Validity
  • Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and convergent validity analyses (using Trunk Impairment Scale and Berg Balance Scale) were performed.
  • Test-retest reliability was assessed by re-administering the OSS-TR after seven days, with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) calculated.

    • Main Results:

    • Factor analysis confirmed a single-factor structure for the OSS-TR, supporting its construct validity.
    • High correlations with the Berg Balance Scale (r=0.843) and Trunk Impairment Scale (r=0.867) confirmed convergent validity.
    • Excellent test-retest reliability (ICC=0.953) and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.934) were demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • The Turkish version of the Ottawa Sitting Scale (OSS-TR) is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
    • OSS-TR is appropriate for assessing sitting balance in Turkish-speaking patients with multiple sclerosis.
    • This validated scale can aid clinicians and researchers in managing MS patients.
