Abstract
The Timed 360° turn test (T-360° TT) was developed to assess balance and turning ability. Although validity and reliability have been performed in different diseases, validity and reliability have not been performed in individuals with ankle sprain (AS). The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the T-360° TT in individuals with AS. The study included 54 individuals with AS. Participants were initially evaluated with T-360° TT, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Biodex Balance System (BBS). To assess test-retest reliability, the T-360° TT was performed again 5 days after the first measurement by the same assessor. At the end of the study, strong positive correlations were found between T-360° TT with TUG test and BBS (p < 0.05). In addition, T-360° TT had excellent test-retest reliability (Intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.87). The T-360° TT is a valid and reliable tool for the evaluation of balance and turning ability in individuals with AS. We also think that it can be used practically in clinical settings because it is a test that can be easily and quickly performed.
