INTRODUCTION Determination of the degree of depression of consciousness in patients with brain damage upon admission to the intensive care unit and intensive therapy is a primary task. In order to carry out a quick and at the same time sufficiently complete assessment of this kind, in 1974 neurosurgeons Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett from the University of Glasgow developed an algorithm consisting of a sequential series of tests in the form of eye opening, speech and motor responses, called Glasgow Coma Scale. This scale has received worldwide recognition and for many decades has been the main one for determining the state of consciousness in the most severe patients with brain damage. The absence  of a validated version of this scale complicates its application in Russia, and the use of currently available versions that have not passed all the necessary  stages of validation distorts the originally intended meaning of the scale and does not allow obtaining reliable clinical results when examining patients with acute impairment of consciousness.AIM OF STUDY Development of the official Russian­language version of the Glasgow Coma Scale, taking into account linguistic and cultural  characteristics (1st stage of the validation study).MATERIAL AND METHODS The staff of Center for Validation of Health Status Questionnaires and Scales in Russia, Research Center of Neurology obtained consent from G. Teasdale to validate Glasgow Coma Scale in Russia. Two Russian­speaking professional certified translators in the field of  medicine performed a direct translation of the original English­language scale, and a reverse translation was carried out by native speakers with a medical education. Pilot study was performed in 15 patients with acute impairment of consciousness, two meetings of the expert committee were held (before and after pilot study).RESULTS Based on the results of the first meeting of the expert commission, a linguistic and cultural adaptation of the text of the scale was carried out. During the pilot testing of the researchers did not have difficulties in understanding and interpreting instructions. As a result, the second meeting of the expert commission was held and the final Russian­language version was approved, which is presented in this article and is available on the website of Center for Validation of Health Status Questionnaires and Scales in Russia, Research Center of Neurology.CONCLUSION For the first time, the Russian language version of the Glasgow Coma Scale was officially presented and recommended for use both in clinical and research practice in Russia and other Russian speaking countries. The next publication will highlight the result of assessing the psychometric properties (reproducibility, inter­expert agreement and sensitivity) of the Russian­language version of the scale.

Accuracy And Repeatability

Traditional methods of measuring a joint angle are neither repeatable nor accurate and cannot instantly display, record, and upload the data onto a cloud drive. These mechanisms require development if they are to be used to evaluate rehabilitation programs. This pilot study aim is to create a simple dynamic joint angle measurement system and develop a hand rehabilitation application for stroke users using small and sensitive 3-axis accelerometers. Using Bluetooth communication technology, an electrogoniometer is developed to measure the free range of motion of lower limb joints and automatically send and save all data on to a cloud drive. The reliability of the proposed device is evaluated by comparison with a commercial electrogoniometer. Five healthy youth subjects and five health elderly subjects are involved in the evaluation process for this pilot study. The accuracy and repeatability of the proposed device are tested using Bland–Altman plots and linear correlation analysis. Measurements that were made by the proposed device and a commercial electrogoniometer are shown to be comparable and repeatable, as confirmed by Bland–Atman plots. There is also a very high degree of linear correlation (R2 > 0.99 for all joint angle measurements) between the lower limb joint angles that are measured using both devices. In conclusion, a portable, highly accurate and repeatable device was designed to be used for clinical assessment and for rehabilitation application that gives increased motivation to the user.
