| Abstract | Introduction: One of the common problems of people with Parkinson;#39s disease is the lack of adequate balance in daily routines. Therefore, this study addressed the reliability of the test-retest of home-screening falling test for people with Parkinson;#39s disease. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on a sample of Parkinson;#39s patients eligible for inclusion in the study that were selected using a simple non-probabilistic method. Participants were assessed twice by using a “home-screening falling test “in regard to keeping the balance in their daily routines. The reliability of the tool was assessed by internal consistency of the tool using Cronbach;#39s alpha (based on the first stage questionnaire) and also the calculation of the intra-group correlation coefficient by a test-retest (one week interval). Also, for each instrument item, the Kappa coefficient was used to show the agreement rate between two tests and retest tests. Results: In this study, 30 patients with Parkinson;#39s disease were evaluated. In this account, based on the first stage evaluation, Cronbach;#39s alpha was estimated to be 0.85 (P | en |
