A novel adaptive momentum method for medical image classification using convolutional neural network

Abstract

Objectives: With a valid and reliable scale, it will make an important contribution to the assessment of cognitive functions such as spatial, spatial-visual, and memory functions, and raise awareness of older people with balance disorders. The purpose of this study is to develop a scale to assess vestibular and cognitive functions in the geriatric population with vestibular disorders and to evaluate its validity and reliability. Methods: The study involved 75 individuals aged 60 years and older who complained of imbalance. In the first phase, scale items on balance, emotional, spatial, spatial-visual, and memory were created using the literature. The item analysis was completed by a pilot application, and 25 scale items were determined for the main application. The item analysis and validity and reliability analyzes were completed, and the scale was given its final form. For the statistical analysis of the data, a principal component analysis was performed for the validity analysis. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was used for the reliability analysis. Descriptive statistics were compiled on the participants' scale scores. Results: The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was found to be highly reliable at 0.86. Statistically significant values were found between the age variable and the spatial subscales, the spatial-visual subscales, and the Cognitive Vestibular Function Scale with a small positive effect (respectively: r = 0.264; p = 0.022; r = 0.237; p = 0.041; r = 0.231; p = 0.046). The results indicate that the Cognitive Vestibular Function Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool at a good level in elderly people aged 60 years and older. Conclusion: Cognitive Vestibular Function Scale; was developed to detect cognitive problems related to dizziness/balance. As a result, a preliminary study was conducted to investigate a rapid, easy-to-use, and reliable clinical scale to assess cognitive function in people with balance & COPY; 2023 Published by Elsevier Espan & SIM;a, S.L.U. on behalf of Associacao Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia C & PRIME;ervico-Facial.
