Abstract

Objective

To generate data for tests of mobility in typically developing children, and thereby establish reference values against which scores for children with a health condition can be compared.

Design and setting

A cross-sectional study was carried out at 12 primary schools.

Participants

In total, 1512 typically developing children aged 6 to 12 years (50% female) participated in this study.

Methods

Performance on four tests (Times-Sit-to-Stand Test, 10-m Walk Test, 6-minute Walk Test and Stairs Test) was measured to encompass various aspects of everyday mobility (standing up from a chair, walking short and long distances, and climbing stairs).

Results

Generally, scores increased with age, except for the Times-Sit-to-Stand Test which was stable at a mean of 1.1 (standard deviation 0.2) stands/second. Multiple regression revealed that sex made a significant contribution to the most challenging mobility tests. Visual examination showed that at approximately 11 years of age, scores for males began to exceed those for females, such that males walked 0.24 m/second [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14 to 0.33] faster at their fastest speed and climbed 0.16 more stairs/second (95% CI 0.09 to 0.22) than females.

Conclusions

Data from this study have determined the reference values for mobility in typically developing school-aged children, using tests commonly applied in the clinic. With these values, the status and progress of children with a health condition may be determined accurately.

Contribution of the Paper

  • Reference values for mobility in typically developing children between 6 and 12 years of age are presented by age and sex.
  • Performance increased with age, except on the Times-Sit-to-Stand Test.
  • Differences between the sexes were found from 11 years of age.

发育正常学龄儿童的活动能力参考值:一项横断面研究。
目的为发育正常儿童的活动能力测试提供数据,从而建立参考值,用于比较患有健康问题的儿童的得分:在 12 所小学开展横断面研究:共有 1512 名 6 至 12 岁发育正常的儿童(50% 为女性)参加了这项研究:方法:测量四项测试(从坐到站测试、10米步行测试、6分钟步行测试和爬楼梯测试)的表现,包括日常活动能力的各个方面(从椅子上站起、短距离和长距离步行以及爬楼梯):一般来说,除了 "坐立时间测试 "的平均站立时间为1.1(标准差为0.2)秒外,其他项目的得分都随着年龄的增长而增加。多元回归显示,性别对最具挑战性的移动能力测试有显著影响。目测结果显示,大约在11岁时,男性的得分开始超过女性,因此男性以最快速度行走时每秒快0.24米[95%置信区间(CI)为0.14至0.33],爬楼梯时每秒比女性多爬0.16级楼梯(95%置信区间为0.09至0.22):这项研究的数据利用临床上常用的测试方法,确定了发育正常学龄儿童的活动能力参考值。有了这些数值,就可以准确地判断儿童的健康状况和进展。本文的贡献

期刊介绍: Physiotherapy aims to publish original research and facilitate continuing professional development for physiotherapists and other health professions worldwide. Dedicated to the advancement of physiotherapy through publication of research and scholarly work concerned with, but not limited to, its scientific basis and clinical application, education of practitioners, management of services and policy. We are pleased to receive articles reporting original scientific research, systematic reviews or meta-analyses, theoretical or debate articles, brief reports and technical reports. All papers should demonstrate methodological rigour.
