| Summary: | Balance disordered is one of the common problems among elderly and clinically the
subjective measure for this problem is important. There is one newly translated
Malay version of Modified Vertigo symptom scale (MVMVSS) by Davies et a.I
1998. Validity and reliability test is essential before this MVMVSS can be used
clinically especially in newly translated questionnaire. This cross sectional study
involves translation (4 professionals), face validity (Professionals, students, patient
and public (n= 10)) and reliability test (Normal and healthy subjects (n=80)). All
subjects were asked to complete the MVMVVS once. However, for reliability test
they were asked to complete Malay Version Vertigo Symptom Scale (MVVSS) and
MVMVSS form twice. MVMVSS showed a good validity with 100% agreements in
forward and backward translation. It also showed good face validity with good
feedback about the number of questions, understanding and overall format. Higher
reliability test showed for both questionnaires with Cronbach’s alpha 0.91 for
MVVSS and 0.85 for MVMVSS. In conclusion, this study shows that MVMVSS is
a good validity and reliability. |
