Chair sit to stand tests (CST) are widely used in clinical settings to measure endurance, balance and lower extremity muscle strength. It also allows clinicians to predict falls and cognitive decline in older adults. The current CST measurements are done manually using a timer. The manual CST ...
Single leg squat test— functional leg strength test in which participants squat down until about 60° knee flexion. 1RM Squat test Chair Stand— stand up repeatedly from a chair for 30 seconds Home squat test— perform as many squats as you canRelated...
scoring: The score is recorded to the nearest centimeter or half inch as the distance reached by the hand. Some test versions use the level of the feet as the zero mark, while others have the zero mark 9 inches before the feet. There is also the modified sit and reach test which ...
From fifth grade on, we rode the bus to school and away games, we pedaled our bikes down dusty country roads, and we would lay out in the sun together – as long as we could stand it before jumping into the pond. We spent long idle summer hours, planning our futures when we grew ...
Actually,this might be an even better example, in which the former First Lady cites racism as the motive for a woman who cut in front of her in line at an ice cream shop when she “had told the Secret Service to stand back because we were trying to be normal, trying to go in ....
While the above 7 and 6 item tests may be suitable for standalone testing, this optimised 4-item subset may be an ideal pre-screen test, before selective use of the UPSIT for assessing olfactory dysfunction in the general population. Nevertheless, it is still important to remember that while...

We found a sensitivity of 0.4 and a specificity of 0.96 to distinguish Parkinson's patients from asymptomatic subjects. In addition, seven Parkinson's patients performed the sit-to-stand task "ON" and "OFF" medication, and we noted the scores improved with the patients' medication...
