Abstract

of the Balance Scale(BBS), with the Rankin Scale(mRS). The the six 31 58% a mean of 71.1 11.8 that the NIHSS and the after six while the BBS After six months, the the of independent to the was be (p<0.001). While 90% (n=28) of the medium-high fall according to BBS at significantly to 42% (n=13) after six months (p<0.001). In the first the of fall risk and dependency status of the were according to BBS and found BBS level of p=0.022). In the BBS higher level of compared to (χ²=14.9; p<0.001). the correlations the first and last evaluation scores of the BBS, and NIHSS with months. BBS can detect more risky patients than mRS, which is routinely applied in the clinic. For this reason, it is important to evaluate balance and fall risk in every patient walking unaided. With the widespread use of BBS, it is predicted that after the identification of risky patients, complications that may occur due to falls will decrease, and treatment costs and disability-adjusted life-year losses will decrease.
