Resumo: This articles presents the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Equiscale, and assesses its reliability and validity. The translation was tested on 11 randomly-selected patients with multiple sclerosis, who were also assessed by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). The Equiscale was applied twice (test-retest) by three physical therapists. Test-retest reliability was verified by the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), and comparison between Equiscale and the other scales was made using Spearman correlation coefficient. Test-retest reliability was shown to be adequate (ICC=0.882; 0.906), as well as inter-examiner's (ICC=0.947; 0.933; 0.962). Good correlations were also found between Equiscale and BBS (rs=0.8940; p=0.0002), and EDSS (rs=-0.7139; p=0.0136). Results thus show that the Equiscale Brazilian version presents adequate reliability and validity, proving a useful instrument to assess balance in multiple sclerosis patients.

Este estudo consistiu na tradução para o português e na verificação da confiabilidade e validade do teste original de equilíbrio Equiscale. A versão brasileira foi testada em 11 indivíduos com esclerose múltipla selecionados aleatoriamente, que foram inicialmente avaliados pela Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg (EEB), Medida de Independência Funcional e pela Escala do Estado de Deficiência Expandida (EDSS). Foram feitas duas avaliações usando a Equiscala (teste-reteste) por três fisioterapeutas, para verificar a confiabilidade interexaminador. A confiabilidade teste-reteste e interexaminador foi verificada pelo coeficiente de correlação intra-classe (CCI); e a relação entre a Equiscala e as demais escalas, pelo coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. Foi demonstrada adequada confiabilidade teste-reteste (CCI=0,882; 0,906) e interexaminador(CCI=0,947; 0,933; 0,962). Também foi encontrada boa correlação da Equiscala com a Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg (rs=0,8940; p=0,0002) e a EDSS (rs=-0,7139; p=0,0136). Os resultados indicam que a Equiscala apresenta adequada confiabilidade e validade, podendo ser aplicada na avaliação do equilíbrio em pacientes com esclerose múltipla. Universidade de São Paulo.
