Özet

Aims: The aim of this study is to determine a cutoff value of the calf-raise senior test and dual-calf-raise senior test according to fall history. Methods: 150 elderly individuals participated in descriptive study. Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Functional Reach Test (FRT), Calf-Raise Senior Test (CRST) and Calf-Raise Senior Test with additional cognitive task (dual- CRST) were applied. Results: It was found to be high correlation between CRST and the BBS,medium with TUG, and high with FRT. It was found to be high correlation dual-CRST and the BBS,medium with the TUG and high with FRT. According to the fall history, the cutoff value for the CRST was found 18.3 repetitions and 11.5 repetitions for the dual-CRST. Conclusion: The present study has contributed significantly to the literature in terms of determining the cutoff value for fall risk in the CRST and dual-CRS.
