dc.description.abstractIntroduction Dubousset Functional Test (DFT) is an assessment test evaluating the functional capacity and dynamic balance. The study aimed to examine the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of the DFT in early stage Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. Thirty-three early stage PD patients were recruited. The DFT was performed along with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, dual-task TUG, Functional Reach Test (FRT), 3-m backward walk test (3MBWT), Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Results The test-retest reliability of the subcomponents of the DFT was excellent. The ICCs were as follows: 0.952, 0.955, 0.917, and 0.919, respectively. The correlation with subcomponents of DFT and TUG, dual-task TUG, FRT, 3MBWT, BBS, and POMA was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). The standard measurement errors of the subcomponents of the DFT were 1.45, 1.39, 1.70, and 1.57, respectively. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the subcomponents was 2.05, 1.97, 2.41, and 2.22, respectively. Conclusion The DFT is a reliable, valid, and easy-to-administer tool in assessing the balance and physical function of early stage PD patients.
