Dual Task Performance in Rheumatic Diseases

"10 Meter Walking Test: It is applied by walking at a normal walking speed (like walking in a shopping mall) without any assistance at a marked distance of 10 meters.~1- Evaluation of walking under single task conditions is done with the 10 Meter Walk Test and without any cognitive or motor second task. Evaluation of walking under dual task conditions is applied in two different ways: 2-adding a cognitive task to the walking motor task (motor + cognitive dual task) 3-adding one more motor task to the walking motor task (motor + motor dual task). While performing dual tasks, the time-distance (walking speed, cadence, stride length) characteristics of the gait are recorded using with wearable gait device."

It is a multidimensional, disease-specific, self-administered questionnaire designed to measure health status outcomes in patients with arthritis.

The Visual Analogue Scale is a reliable and easily applicable scale used to measure the pain intensity of patients, accepted in the world literature.

Although the test has limited specificity in terms of differentiating clinical syndromes, it is a short, useful and standardized method that can be used to determine the cognitive level globally.
