Abstract

Abstract Aims To demonstrate the reliability and validity of the modified four-square step test (mFSST) and the step test (ST) in community-dwelling older adults. Methods Fifty older adults were recruited. The test-retest reliability of the mFSST and ST was evaluated with one-hour-interval. The mFSST and ST was compared with Timed up and Go Test (TUG) and Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTST) to demonstrate concurrent validity. Results The mean age of the participants was 72.0 ± 5.7 years. The test-retest reliability of mFSST and ST was excellent (ICC = 0.971 and 0.938, respectively). In concurrent validity analysis, the mFSST was strongly correlated with TUG and FTST (r1=0.755,r2=0.575,p < 0.001). Both the ST (right) and ST (left) were highly correlated with TUG and FTST (r= −0.527 to −0.578, p < 0.001). In addition, the ST (right) and ST (left) were highly correlated with FTST (r1= −0.533,r2= −0.527,p < 0.001). Conclusions mFSST and ST was proven to be valid and reliable in older adults.

改进四方步进检验和步进检验在老年人中的信度和效度

摘要目的验证改良四方步检验(mFSST)和步检验(ST)在社区老年人中的信度和效度。方法招募50名老年人。mFSST和ST的重测信度以1 h为间隔进行评估。将mFSST和ST与拖曳时间测试(TUG)和五次坐立测试(FTST)进行比较，验证并发效度。结果患者平均年龄为72.0±5.7岁。mFSST和ST的重测信度极好(ICC分别为0.971和0.938)。在并发效度分析中，mFSST与TUG和FTST呈强相关(r1=0.755,r2=0.575,p < 0.001)。ST(右)和ST(左)与TUG和FTST高度相关(r= - 0.527 ~ - 0.578, p < 0.001)。此外，ST(右)和ST(左)与FTST高度相关(r1= - 0.533,r2= - 0.527,p < 0.001)。结论mFSST和ST在老年人中是有效和可靠的。

期刊介绍： This comprehensive journal is recognized for its useful balance of research and clinical practice articles. For more than twenty five years Physical & Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics has functioned as a forum for allied health professionals as well as others with a focus on rehabilitation of the geriatric client to share information, clinical experience, research, and therapeutic practice. Each issue focuses on current practice and emerging issues in the care of the older client, including rehabilitation and long-term care in institutional and community settings, and innovative programming; the entire range of problems experienced by the elderly; and the current skills needed for working with older clients.
