Reliability and validity of the Persian version of the Fatigue Scale for Motor and Cognitive Functions (P-FSMC) in Iranian people with multiple sclerosis.

Purpose: This study evaluated the psychometric feature of the Persian version of the Fatigue Scale for Motor and Cognitive Functions (P-FSMC) in Iranian People with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS).

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 303 PwMS and 102 healthy controls participated. Structural validity was explored using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

Minimal important difference of Berg Balance Scale, performance-oriented mobility assessment and dynamic gait index in chronic stroke survivors.

Objective: The Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), and Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) are crucial standard tools used to evaluate functional balance. However, their minimal important difference (MID) threshold is yet to be established. The objective of this research was to explore the MID for BBS, POMA, and DGI in people suffering from chronic stroke.
