No. of bitstreams: 1 KarynaMOBF.pdf: 5534733 bytes, checksum: 530fbd079356df5078e7d3aeb2952942 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-12-16 / This study aimed at assessing the interobserver reliability of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The assessment was made by physiotherapists with extensive or little clinical experience in non-institutionalized elderly individuals. Participants comprised 12 elderly subjects (10 women and 2 men) with mean ages of 75.8 ? 8.4 years (range = 63-87) and 18 physiotherapists with varying clinical experience. Inter-examiner reliability obtained for each scale item yielded weighted kappa value > 0.75 in 11 of the 14 items (varying from 0.37 to 1.0). The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for the total sum of BBS scores between the two groups of physiotherapists was 0.996 (95% confidence interval, 0.987 0.999) with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.996. We found no difference between the rater groups when we compared the sum score means obtained with the student s T-test (p = 0.86). Although some items had low reliability values, in general our results suggest that the Brazilian Version of the BBS showed good levels of interrater reliability and agreement when used by physiotherapists with different clinical practice levels and without previous training on non-institutionalized elderly patients. We concluded that the BBS can be useful as an important evaluation instrument on a protocol for Rehabilitation clinics. It may be used by various health professionals, as: Physicians, Physical therapists, Physical educators, Occupational therapists, Nurses and Phonoaudiologists, so confirming the interdisciplinary character of this study / O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a confiabilidade interobservador da Vers?o Brasileira da Escala do Equil?brio de Berg (EEB), entre fisioterapeutas com extensa e escassa pr?tica cl?nica em uma popula??o idosa n?o-institucionalizada. Participaram do estudo 12 idosos (10 mulheres e 2 homens), com m?dia de idade de 75,8 anos ? 8,39 (varia??o de 63-87) e 18 fisioterapeutas com diferentes n?veis de experi?ncia cl?nica. A confiabilidade interexaminador obtida em cada item da escala, apresentou um valor de Kappa ponderado (Kw) de > 0,75 em 11 dos 14 itens (varia??o de 0,37 a 1,0). O coeficiente de correla??o intraclasses (ICC) da soma da pontua??o total da EEB entre os dois grupos de fisioterapeutas foi de 0,996 (IC 95%, 0,987 - 0,999) e com o coeficiente de Cronbach de 0,996. N?o encontramos diferen?as entre os grupos de avaliadores quando comparadas as m?dias da pontua??o total obtida por meio do teste T-student (p=0,86). Embora alguns itens tenham apresentado baixos valores de confiabilidade, em geral nossos resultados sugerem que a Vers?o Brasileira da EEB apresenta bons n?veis de confiabilidade interobservador quando utilizada por fisioterapeutas com diferentes n?veis de pr?tica cl?nica e sem treinamento pr?vio em idosos que vivem na comunidade. Conclu?mos que a EEB pode servir como um importante instrumento de avalia??o dentro de um protocolo sistematizado para servi?os de Reabilita??o, onde sua utiliza??o pode ser realizada por diferentes profissionais de sa?de, tais como: M?dicos, Fisioterapeutas, Educadores f?sicos, Terapeutas ocupacionais, Enfermeiros e Fonoaudi?logos, confirmando assim o car?ter interdisciplinar dessa pesquisa
