Modified New Mobility Score - Turkish Version

VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE MODIFIED NEW MOBILITY SCORE

The goal of this validation and reliability study is to translate the modified version of the New Mobility Score (NMS) into Turkish (NMS-TR), culturally adapt it, and examine its psychometric properties in elderly individuals (aged 65 years and older) with hip fractures.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is the New Mobility Score a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing mobility in Turkish individuals with hip fractures?
2. Is the New Mobility Score not a valid and reliable measurement tool in this population?

There is no comparison group in this study.

Participants will:

Provide demographic and clinical information. Undergo cognitive assessment using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Be evaluated for comorbidity burden using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Have their ambulatory function assessed with the Cumulative Ambulation Score (CAS).

Inclusion Criteria:

• aged 65 years and older
• postoperative hip fracture who were admitted to the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital

Exclusion Criteria:

• under the age of 65
• Without a hip fracture
