Objective[edit | edit source]
The Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale is used to assess perception of balance and stability during activities of daily living and fear of falling in the elderly population, along with those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Community and hospital inpatients with acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, stroke and the elderly population.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
- The Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale is a 10-item questionnaire designed to assess confidence in patients' ability to perform 10 daily tasks without falling as an indicator of how one's fear of falling impacts physical performance
- Each item is rated from 1 ("very confident") to 10 ("not confident at all"), and the per item ratings are added to generate a summary total score
- Total scores can range from 10 (best possible) to 100 (worst possible). Thus, lower scores indicate more confidence and higher scores indicate lack of confidence and greater fear of falling
Evidence[edit | edit source]
Reliability[edit | edit source]
Test-retest Reliability[edit | edit source]
Geriatric: (Tinetti et al, 1990)[1]
- Adequate test-retest reliability (r = 0.71)
Chronic Stroke: (Hellstrom & Lindmark, 1999; n = 30; mean age = 65 (11) years; stroke onset between 5 and 84 months prior to assessment) [2]
- Excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.97)
Validity[edit | edit source]
Criterion Validity[edit | edit source]
Geriatric: (Huang & Wang, 2009)[3]
- Adequate concurrent validity with the ABC Scale (r = -0.55)
- Adequate concurrent validity with the Geriatric Fear of Falling Measurement (r = -0.57)
Geriatric: (Powell and Myers, 1995; n = 60 community-dwelling seniors aged 65-95; self-classified as either high or low in mobility confidence)[4]
- Excellent correlation with the Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC) (r = 0.84)
Spinal Cord Injury: (Wirz et al, 2010) [5]
- Excellent concurrent validity with the Berg Balance Scale and the 16-item FES-I (r = -0.81)
Construct Validity[edit | edit source]
Geriatric: (Huang & Wang, 2009)[3]
- Poor correlation with age (r = -0.23)
- Excellent correlation with balance (r = 0.66)
- Excellent correlation with gait (r = 0.67)
- Excellent correlation with mobility (r = 0.71)
- Adequate correlation with fall history (r = -0.47)
- Poor correlation with medical conditions (r = -0.18)
- Adequate correlation with self-rated health status (r = 0.36)
Responsiveness[edit | edit source]
Elderly: (Powell & Myers, 1995)[4]
- Large responsiveness between low and high mobility groups (Effect size = 1.20)
Elderly: (Harada et al, 1995; n = 53 individuals living in two residential care facilities for the elderly)[6]
- Sensitivity (59%)
- Specificity (82%)
Parkinsons: (Cakit et al 2007)[7]
- FES scores improved significantly (p < 0.01) in treadmill group but not in control group. (Also significant score change for BBS and DGI). However, FES did not differentiate “fallers” and “non-fallers” at baseline nor after treadmill training
