摘要

Study design

Methodological Research Design.

Objectives

To establish the content validity, internal consistency reliability & test-retest reliability of the SCI-FCS for individuals with SCI in Delhi, India.

Setting

Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, India.

Methods

A panel of 13 experts validated the content of the 16-item scale using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The scale was then piloted with 43 manual wheelchair users with SCI. Internal consistency was assessed through item analysis, and 20 participants were retested after one week to evaluate test-retest reliability.

Results

All items met the minimum Content Validity Ratio (CVR) of 0.54 required for 13 experts, ensuring their retention. The scale demonstrated a strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.865) and good test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.785).

Conclusion

The SCI-FCS is a valid and reliable tool to assess the fall concerns in manual wheelchair users with SCI in Delhi, India. It can help rehabilitation professionals evaluate the effectiveness of fall prevention interventions.
