ABSTRACT Background: The Berg Balance Scale is widely used to measure balance ability in clinical practice. Recently, the original version was redefined from 14 into 12 items. Its psychometric properties were investigated for different populations. However, for Parkinson disease the new version has not been validated yet. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate psychometric properties of the 12-item Berg Balance Scale (BBS-12) in a population with Parkinson disease. Methods: Internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, whereas reliability was assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient. For validity analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient of the BBS-12 was evaluated with the Tinetti Scale and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly. Results: The BBS-12 was applied to 50 individuals with a mean age of 65.6 years (SD 11.8). The internal consistency showed a good value (Cronbach's alpha 0.886) and reproducibility reveled very high performances for both inter-rater and intra-rater reliabilities (ICC 0.987 and 0.986, respectively). The validity study demonstrated good linear correlation with the Tinetti Scale (p<0.01) and with the Sport and Home Subscales of the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (p<0.01). Conclusions: The present findings revealed the BBS-12 as a reliable and valid assessment tool to measure balance ability in Parkinson disease. Italian health professionals can now use it with more confidence.

Objective. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy in individuals affected by primary or idiopathic frozen shoulder, considering only studies that employed a randomized controlled trial. Methods. A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out according to PRISMA guidelines. Three bibliographic databases were searched: MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and PEDro. The minimum prerequisites for papers to be included in the systematic review were that they had to (a) employ a randomized controlled trial; (b) be published in English or Italian language. The studies were evaluated according to Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias and Jadad scale. Results. Twelve studies in systematic review and nine studies in meta-analysis were included. Conclusions. Frozen shoulder is a condition whose therapeutic targets could change due to symptoms and stage. Rehabilitation program, particularly end-range mobilization techniques and therapeutic exercise are the most effective in reducing pain and increasing function in sub-acute phases.

“…This study showed that the NAHS is considered a good instrument for the evaluation of young and active patients with hip disease. NAHS is a good instrument in clinical practice and in research studies because it is very simple, self-administered and quick to complete (only 5 minutes) and to understand for a maximum compliance of the patient and it is specific for young and physically active individuals [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

BACKGROUNDː the aim of the study was to translate the Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS) questionnaire into the Italian language, to adapt it into the Italian culture and to validate it. METHODSː Translation and cultural adaptation were performed following international guidelines. To assess the reliability of the tool internal consistency and test-retest reliability were evaluated through Cronbach's alpha and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) respectively. Validity was evaluated by Pearson's correlation coefficient between the NAHS, the Lequesne Index of Severity for Osteoarthritis of the Hip (LISOH) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), that were administered together. These three questionnaires were applied to a population of 64 individuals between 19 and 82 years old with generic hip injures or diseases.RESULTSː The items of the original version of NAHS are similar or equal to the items of the Italian version of NAHS. Cronbach's α was 0.614 (Pain); 0.821 (Symptom); 0.877 (Function); 0.896 (Activity). ICC for total score was 0.905. The correlation with the WOMAC was 0.850 (p< 0.01) and with the LISOH was 0.738 (p<0.01).CONCLUSIONSː The NAHS showed positive results for reliability and validity so it was translated into Italian language and was cross-culturally adapted to Italian culture. This questionnaire is a good instrument in clinical practice and scientific research for the evaluation of young and active individuals affected by hip injures or diseases.
