Düşmeler, alt ekstremite amputasyonu olan bireylerde yaygındır ve sıklıkla fiziksel yaralanmalara ve düşme korkusuna yol açar. Bu korku, günlük aktivite düzeyinde, sosyal katılımda ve yaşam kalitesinde azalmaya neden olabilir. Bu nedenle denge değerlendirmesi, yalnızca fiziksel performansı değil; psikolojik faktörleri, motivasyonu ve özgüveni de dikkate almalıdır, çünkü bunlar dengeyi ve protez kullanımını etkiler. Aktiviteye Özgü Denge Güveni (ABC) Ölçeği, düşme korkusunu değerlendirmek amacıyla geliştirilmiş 16 maddelik bir öz-yeterlilik ölçüm aracıdır. Alt ekstremite amputasyonu olan bireylerde ABC Ölçeği’nin Türkçe çevirisinin geçerlik ve güvenirliğini değerlendirmek. Geçerlik–Güvenirlik Çalışması. ABC Ölçeği, uzuv kaybı olan 80 bireye iki kez uygulanmış olup testler arasında bir haftalık süre bırakılmıştır. Yapı geçerliğini değerlendirmek için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi yapılmıştır. İç tutarlılığı analiz etmek için Cronbach alfa katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Test–retest güvenirliğini belirlemek için Spearman korelasyon katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, ABC Ölçeği’nin Türkçe versiyonunun tek faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğunu doğrulamıştır. Türkçe versiyon için Spearman korelasyon katsayısı (ICC) 0.93 bulunmuş olup yüksek test–retest güvenirliğini göstermektedir. Cronbach alfa 0.937, yarıya bölme güvenirliği 0.943 ve McDonald’s ω 0.90 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu bulgular ölçeğin mükemmel iç tutarlılığa sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. ABC Ölçeği’nin Türkçe versiyonu, protez kullanan alt ekstremite amputasyonlu bireylerde denge güvenini değerlendirmek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir araçtır.

EVALUATION OF THE VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE ACTIVITY-SPECIFIC BALANCE CONFIDENCE SCALE IN INDIVIDUALS WITH LOWER EXTREMITY AMPUTATIONS

Falls are common in individuals with lower extremity amputations, often leading to physical injuries and fear of falling. This fear can reduce daily activity, social participation, and quality of life. Therefore, balance assessment should consider not only physical performance but also psychological factors, motivation, and confidence, which influence balance and prosthesis use. The Activity-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale is a 16-item self-efficacy measure designed to assess fear of falling. To evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish translation of the ABC scale in a lower limb amputee population. The ABC scale was administered to 80 individuals with limb loss twice, with a one week interval between tests. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed to asses construct validity The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to analyze internal consistency. Spearman’s correlation coefficient were calculated to determine test–retest reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the Turkish version of the ABC Scale has a single-factor structure. The Spearman’s correlation coefficient (ICC) for the Turkish version was 0.93, indicating high test–retest reliability. Cronbach’s α was 0.937, split-half reliability was 0.943, and McDonald’s ω was 0.90. These findings indicate excellent internal consistency of the scale. The Turkish version of the ABC scale is a valid and reliable tool for assessing balance confidence in lower limb amputees using prostheses.
