“…The results of this study demonstrate excellent inter-rater reliability of the FTSTS comparable to that reported in chronic stroke (ICC =0.99)[15]. Test-retest reliability of the FTSTS in PD is also comparable to that of other populations (ICC range 0.64–0.96)[11,33–36]. …”

Objectives Our objectives were to: 1) determine intra-rater and test-retest reliability of the FTSTS in Parkinson disease (PD), 2) characterize Five Time Sit to Stand (FTSTS) performance in PD at different disease stages, 3) determine predictors of FTSTS performance in PD, and 4) determine utility of the FTSTS for discriminating between fallers and non-fallers with PD, identifying an appropriate cutoff score to delineate between these groups. Design Measurement study of community-dwelling individuals with idiopathic PD. Setting Participants were examined in a medical school laboratory. Participants Eighty-two participants were recruited via population-based sampling. The final sample included eighty participants. Two were excluded per exclusion criteria and unrelated illness, respectively. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure(s) Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSTS) time (seconds). Secondary outcome measures included: Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BEST), Maximal Voluntary Isometric Contraction – Quadriceps (MVIC), nine hole peg test (9HPT), six minute walk, freezing of gait questionnaire, Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale, Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, Parkinson Disease Questionnaire-39, and Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale. Results Interrater and test-retest reliability for the FTSTS were high (Intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.99 and 0.76, respectively). Mean FTSTS performance was 20.25 ± 14.12 (seconds). All mobility measures were significantly correlated with FTSTS (p<0.01). The Mini-BEST and 9HPT together explained 53% of the variance in FTSTS. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis determined a cutoff of 16.0 seconds (sensitivity = 0.75, specificity = 0.68) for discriminating between fallers and non-fallers, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.77. Conclusion The FTSTS is a quick, easily administered measure useful for gross determination of fall risk in individuals with PD.

Declines in neuromuscular function, including measures of mobility, muscle strength, steadiness, and patterns of muscle activation, accompany advancing age and are often associated with reduced quality of life and mortality. Paradoxically, older adults are less fatigable than young adults in some tasks. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of age on fatigability of the dorsiflexors and to evaluate the ecological validity of this test by comparing it to motor function subdomains known to decline with advancing age. The community-dwelling older adults (n = 52, 75.2 ± 6.0 years) were more fatigable than young adults (n = 26, 22.2 ± 3.7 years), as assessed by endurance time for supporting a submaximal load (20% of one-repetition maximum; 1-RM) with an isometric contraction of the dorsiflexor muscles (8.9 ± 0.6 min and 15.5 ± 0.9 min, p < 0.001), including participants matched for 1-RM load and sex (Y: 13.3 ± 4.0 min, O: 8.5 ± 6.1 min, n = 11 pairs, 6 women, p < 0.05). When the older adults were separated into two groups (65-75 and 76-90 yrs), however, only endurance time for the oldest group was less than that for the other two groups (p < 0.01). All measures of motor function were significantly correlated (all p < 0.05) with dorsiflexor endurance time for the older adults, and multiple regression analysis revealed that the variance in endurance time was most closely associated with age, steadiness, and knee flexor strength (R2 = 0.50, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that dorsiflexor fatigability provides a valid biomarker of motor function in older adults.

“…The maneuver is relatively demanding from a neuromuscular perspective2 ) and is affected negatively by age and pathology3,4,5,6 ) . It should not be surprising, therefore, that repeated STSs are a common component of exercise regimens directed at older adults and patients with stroke or other pathologies7,8,9,10,11 ) .…”

[Purpose] The sit-to-stand (STS) maneuver is a component of everyday mobility. The purpose of this review was to summarize the number of daily STSs performed by adults with or without pathology. [Methods] Four bibliographic databases were searched followed by a consultation with experts and a search by hand to locate articles reporting daily STSs. Information on measurement procedures, tested populations, and daily STSs was extracted. Methodological quality was rated. [Results] Ten articles were identified. The mean number of daily STSs ranged from 33 to 71. The mean number was at least 45 for all groups except patients with congestive heart failure, residents of a hospital ward and one group of older adults. [Conclusion] Individuals performing fewer than 45 daily STSs may be experiencing a work deficit and benefit from additional intentional STS repetitions.
