TESS
The TESS is a self-administered questionnaire evaluating possible limitations in physical activity. A total of 30 questions are included in the TESS, and the degree of disability is rated from 0 (complete disability) to 5 (no functional impairment) in each item. Similar to MSTS for lower extremity, the final TESS score is converted to a score ranging from 0 to 100 points. If a question in TESS score does not apply to the patient, the last can respond "not applicable."
TUG
Timed up and go is a simple test to measure a person's mobility level and requires static and dynamic balancing skills. It consists of measuring how many seconds it takes the patient to get up from the chair, walk a distance of 3 meters, turn around, return to the chair and sit down again.
patient satisfaction
will be investigated with a questionnaire consisting of a likert scale of 4 questions with score from 0 (not at all satisfied) to 5 (completely satisfied).
