About this study

Official title: Reliability and Validity Studies of Turkish Version of Manual Ability Measure-36 (MAM-36)

This study aim was to investigate the validity and reliability of Turkish version of Manual Ability Measure-36 (MAM-36) in patients with neurological disease.

Read the detailed description

The reliability and validity of the scale were initiated by language equivalence and cultural adaptation. The MAM-36 scale was translated into Turkish by two experienced physiotherapists who are native Turkish speakers and have a good command of English, following the translation procedures. The two translations were compared with each other and a single Turkish draft was created. This draft was translated back into English by two translators who are native English speakers and have a good command of Turkish. The two back translations were compared to each other and converted into a single form. The resulting form was compared with the original form and the final back-translation scale was created. All translation formats of the scale were examined in detail by those who translated the scale into Turkish and a jury consisting of experienced physiotherapists. At the end of the meeting, the pilot study form of the scale was created. The created draft was applied to 30 healthy individuals as a pilot study. The final version of the scale was created by evaluating the feedback obtained. The clinical phase of the study was carried out on 250 volunteer individuals who applied to Dokuz Eylül University Hospital Neurology Department Polyclinics and were diagnosed with MS, Parkinson's disease, and stroke, and who had various degrees of problems in hand dexterity and functions due to their diseases. To evaluate the validity of MAM-36, Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH), which can measure manual dexterity and was validated in Turkish, was used. The scales were repeated 15 days later to assess test-retest reliability.

    The aim of this study is to adapt the Manual Ability Measure-36 (MAM-36) scale to Turkish society and to make its validity and reliability in Turkish.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Manual Ability Measure-36

    Manual Ability Measure-36 was used to measure hand functions. The scale is a task- and patient-oriented measurement tool. Scale items consist of tasks that are frequently performed in daily life. In the survey where individuals subjectively evaluate their manual skills, a 4-point Likert rating scale is used, where 1 is 'I cannot do', 2 is 'very difficult', 3 is 'somewhat difficult', 4 is 'easy'. As a result of this 4-grade scoring of the scale, each patient receives a score between 0-144 from the test. However, in order to facilitate the analysis of future studies on the scale, a 100-point conversion table was created by the creators of the test.

    Measured: baseline

  2. Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand

    Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) was developed by the 'Institute of Work and Health Ontario and American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons' for use in patients with upper extremity problems. DASH is a self-report scale that measures activity and participation limitations and level of disability in upper extremity disorders. The patient's symptoms and daily life activities are examined on a scale consisting of thirty questions. Grading of the scale is done with a Likert scale. For each task, the patient gives a difficulty rating between 1 and 5. These five difficulty levels are defined as 1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: moderate difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: not at all. A score between 0-100 (0 = no apology, 100 = maximum apology) is obtained from the scale. A high score also indicates high functional disability. The scale has a Turkish cultural adaptation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease and Multiple Sclerosis, run by Istanbul Medeniyet University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Manual Ability Measure-36 (time frame: baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2024.
