A sensitivity comparison of clinical tests for postural instability in patients with Huntington's disease
Original language description
Falls are a common complication in Huntington's disease (HD) and detection of postural instability (PI) may be useful for identifying patients who are at risk of falls. The aim of our study was to find the most sensitive clinical test for PI in patientswith HD and to correlate PI with the other symptoms. 20 HD patients were examined using: (1) The Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS), (2) The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and (3) six clinical tests for PI. Inter-scale and test correlations were inspected and uni-dimensionality, validity, and measurement precision were analyzed using a factor analysis model/latent PI score. PI was compared with information obtained from surveys completed independently by patients and caregivers, andboth reports were evaluated for absolute agreement using intraclass correlations (ICCs).
