Existing reactive balance assessments are complex and lab-based, lacking an easy-to-use alternative for broader application in clinical environments. The Adapted Compensatory Arm and Leg Movements (A-CALM) scale was developed to address this gap by providing an observer-based tool to evaluate compensatory balance reactions during perturbation treadmill walking. This study assessed its inter- and intra-rater reliability in fall-prone older adults.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Eighteen participants aged 82 ± 7 years walked on the BalanceTutor® perturbation treadmill. Depending on assigned intensity levels, each received 8, 16, or 24 perturbations in mediolateral and anteroposterior directions. Compensatory balance reactions after each perturbation were video-recorded and evaluated by three trained raters using the A-CALM scale, capturing responses from minor adjustments to near-fall scenarios. Arm movements were rated on a five-point scale (1 = near fall, 5 = regular arm swing), while leg movements were rated on an eight-point scale (1 = near fall, 8 = normal walking), with intermediate scores reflecting varying recovery steps. Inter-rater reliability was assessed using Fleiss' Kappa, while intra-rater reliability over a two-week interval was evaluated using Cohen's Kappa.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Overall, 288 perturbations were recorded. The A-CALM scale demonstrated strong intra-rater reliability, with Kappa values of 0.85 (95% CI = 0.80-0.89) for arm scores, 0.80 (95% CI = 0.75-0.86) for leg scores, and 0.86 (95% CI = 0.83-0.90) for total scores, indicating a high level of consistency in the raters' assessments across time. Inter-rater reliability was substantial for arm scores (<i>K</i> = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.62-0.72) but moderate for leg scores (<i>K</i> = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.44-0.51) and total scores (<i>K</i> = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.38-0.44) with significant values in all analyses (<i>p</i> < 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The A-CALM scale showed high intra-rater consistency and moderate-to-substantial inter-rater agreement, with greater reliability for arm than leg movements. Single-rater use is recommended to enhance stability, while future work should refine leg scoring and validate the scale in larger cohorts with outcomes like falls and functional decline.</p>","PeriodicalId":12716,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sports and Active Living","volume":"7 ","pages":"1658856"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483446/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145206187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
