Summary

The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to evaluate the cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Turkish version of the Balance Recovery Confidence Scale (BRCS), named Dengeyi Düzeltmede Kendine Güven Ölçeği (DDKGÖ), in older Turkish adults aged 65 and above. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the Turkish adaptation (DDKGÖ) demonstrate acceptable cultural validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability in measuring balance recovery confidence?

How does the DDKGÖ correlate with established tools assessing fear of falling, balance confidence, and physical performance (e.g., FES-I, ABC, TUG) to confirm convergent validity?

Participants will:

Complete the DDKGÖ questionnaire twice (7 days apart) to assess test-retest reliability.

Undergo physical performance tests (e.g., Timed Up and Go, Handgrip Strength Test, 30-Second Chair Stand Test).

Provide responses to additional self-report scales (FES-I, ABC) to evaluate convergent validity.

This study focuses on community-dwelling older adults without severe cognitive or physical impairments. Results will help standardize the DDKGÖ as a tool for identifying fall risk and personalizing rehabilitation strategies in Turkish geriatric populations.
