Dual Task in Female Patients With Fibromyalgia

Six minute walk tests: Patients are asked to walk as fast as possible at their own walking pace for 6 minutes on a 30-meter straight corridor. At the end of the test, the walking distance is recorded.

Baecke Habitual Physical Activity Questionnaire (BPAQ): The BPAQ is a self-report questionnaire to assess routine physical activity. The Baecke questionnaire is a tool that evaluates individual's habitual physical activities over the previous 12 months. This questionnaire consists of 16 questions within three main domains of individual physical activities (occupational, sport, and recreational), in the previous 12 months. Measurement of individual physical activities is achieved by calculating the sum of the scores obtained from occupational, sport, and recreational categories

Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (MPI): Evaluates 5 dimensions of fatigue: general fatigue, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, motivation and activity. MPI consists of 20 questions in total, with 4 questions in each subscale. Questions score between 1 and 5. The score of each subscale ranges from 4 (best) to 20 (worst).

General Self-Efficacy Scale: The scale is a 10-item Likert-type four-point scale (1= not suitable for me at all, 2= somewhat suitable for me, 3= mostly suitable for me, 4= completely suitable for me). All items in the scale included positive statements, and those who participated in the scale were asked to answer each item using ratings ranging from "totally suitable for me" to "not at all suitable for me".

Toronto Alexithymia Scale: Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), a 20-item Likert-type self-rating scale, scored between 1-5 as "1=never" and "5=always", "Difficulty Recognizing Emotions", "Speaking Emotions" It consists of three subscales: Difficulty in Pouring and Expressive Thinking. The Difficulty Recognizing Emotions subscale consisted of seven items (items 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14); The Difficulty in Expressing Emotions subscale includes five items (items 2, 4, 11, 12, 17) and the Expressive Thinking subscale includes eight items (items 5, 8, 10, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20). Items 4, 5, 10, 18 and 19 are scored in reverse order. High scores from the scale indicate a high level of alexithymia.

Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire: The revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire is a questionnaire that evaluates the limitations and functional disability of patients with fibromyalgia with a total of 21 questions in three sections: function, general and symptoms. All questions are evaluated on a numerical scale between 0-10. A score of 70 and above indicates severe disability in this patient group. The higher the score obtained from the questionnaire, the higher the disability due to fibromyalgia.

Medical Outcome Study Social Support Scale (MOS-SSS): The first item assesses the number of close relatives and friends (structural social support). The remaining 19 items of the test are answered on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The test consists of four sub-dimensions: emotional-informational support (8 items), positive interaction (3 items), love support (4 items), and concrete support (3 items).

Trail Making Test: This test evaluates attention speed, mental flexibility, visual scanning and motor-speed. In part A, points 1-25 are combined with a single continuous line, in part B, a letter is combined with a number alternately. Part B has also been reported to be an indicator of executive functions. In the evaluation of the test, time and error numbers were used in the literature, but it was also reported that only the time could be used with the effect of the error on the time score by returning the last item without error to the last point reached without error. In our study, this method will be followed and only time scores will be evaluated.
