“…Similarly, reliability analysis of the WHQ-Ar showed that it has excellent test-retest reliability with ICC = 0.976. The magnitude of reliability found in the present study is higher than previously reported [ 26 ]. In regard to SEM, which was 9.2 points, when expressed as a percentage of the overall WHQ-Ar score, SEM was 6.3%.…”

Handedness is one of the most studied behavioural predictors of cerebral lateralization. Assessing handedness is often essential in neuropsychology and motor behaviour research. Thus, it is important that self-reported assessment tools for determining handedness are available in multiple languages for different cultures. The purpose of the present study was to conduct a translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Waterloo Handedness Questionnaire into the Arabic language and to assess its psychometric properties. Two independent forward translations were performed by two native Arabic speakers and then synthesized into one version. The synthesized version was backtranslated into English by two independent bilingual translators. An expert committee was formed to review the translation and adaptation process. A final Arabic version of the WHQ was obtained, the WHQ-Ar. Two hundred and ninety adult Arabic speakers were recruited to participate in the study and investigate the properties of the WHQ-Ar. Results showed that the WHQ-Ar had no floor or ceiling effect. For construct validity, results of factor analysis revealed that the WHQ-Ar had two dimensions. Further, the WHQ-Ar had excellent internal consistency with Cronbac h ’ s alpha = 0.93 . For test-retest reliability, intraclass correlation coefficient score was 0.94. The Bland-Altman plot showed acceptable agreement between test and retest scores. Therefore, the WHQ-Ar is a valid, reliable tool and ready for use among the Arabic-speaking population for determining handedness.

“…Results of construct validity show that factor analysis of the WHQ-Ar indicates that all factors had significant loadings with two main factors (skilled and unskilled activities). This finding is similar to previous studies reporting on the cross-cultural adaptation of the WHQ [ 26 ].…”

Purpose: The goal of this research is to translate and analyze the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Waterloo Footedness Questionnaire-Revised (WFQ-R). Materials and methods: Two native Arabic speakers created separate forward translations, which were then merged. Two different multilingual translators were used to translate it back into English from the synthetic version. Experts were gathered for a discussion on how to improve the localization and adaptation processes. A group of specialists was convened to analyze the localization and modification procedures. We now have the Arabic version of the WFQ-R which is "WFQ-R-Ar". Two hundred and ninety Arabic-speaking adults over the age of 18 were surveyed to evaluate the WHQ-R-Ar's characteristics (internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity). Results: The WFQ-R-Ar had no collisions with the ground or the sky. The factor analysis showed that the construct validity of the WFQ-R-Ar was dependent on a single factor. The WFQ-R-Ar also has excellent internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93. The reliability of the examinations was examined, and it was found to have an intraclass correlation value of 0.94. Conclusion: The WFQ-R-Ar may be relied on to provide accurate results when used to evaluate footedness in Arabic-speaking society.

“…The experimental design is shown in Figure 1. After receiving informed consent, participants were asked to complete the Waterloo Foot Dominance Test (FDT), BDI, and BAI inventories [33]. Before the balance tests, some basic stretching exercises were performed to maintain warm-up and prevent the muscles from being damaged.…”

Acute Effect of Single-Session Cerebellar Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Static and Dynamic Balance in Healthy Volunteers

et al. 2023

Several studies have shown the positive effect of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) on balance in patients and older adults. However, in healthy volunteers, the results are conflicting. We aimed to investigate the immediate effect of anodal ctDCS on the dynamic–static balance in healthy, non-athletic young adults due to the possible benefits for sports performance. Twenty-one healthy volunteers participated in two consecutive 20 min sessions of ctDCS (2 mA current intensity), with 1-week intervals (anodal ctDCS–sham ctDCS). Flamingo and Y-Balance tests were used to evaluate the static and dynamic balances before and after the ctDCS. A Continuous Performance Test (CPT) was used to evaluate the changes in sustained attention, impulsivity, and vigilance. A repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the changes in balance scores, reaction time, omission, and commission numbers. There were no statistically significant differences in dynamic and static balance scores and in CPT parameters between conditions. In conclusion, there was no immediate neuromodulation effect of anodal ctDCS to improve balance performance in healthy, young individuals. Furthermore, no evidence was found to support the use of cerebellar tDCS to improve sports performance.
