This study aimed to assess the validity and functional relevance of a standardized procedure to assess lower limb muscle power by means of the 30-s sit-to-stand (STS) test when compared to leg extension power (LEP), traditional STS performance and handgrip strength. A total of 628 community...
speed for identifying a history of recurrent falls and fractures in older adults.MethodsData from an outpatient clinic included anthropometry (height/weight), bone density, 5 times sit-to-stand time (stopwatch and standardized chair), grip strength (hydraulic dynamometer), and gait speed (4 m)....
The average time score of three repetitions of the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test[21] was used to evaluate functional mobility. At the start of a sit-stand-sit movement cycle, the subject sat in the back of the seat and had both feet on the ground. Subjects were instructed to stand up...
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...
