Objective
[edit | edit source]
To determine fall risk and measure progress of balance, sit to stand, and walking.
Intended Population
[edit | edit source]
This test was initially designed for elderly persons, but is used for people with Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, hip fracture, Alzheimer, CVA, and others.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The patient starts in a seated position, stands up upon therapist’s command, walks 3 meters, turns around, walks back to the chair and sits down. The time stops when the patient is seated. The subject is allowed to use an assistive device, and a practice trial should be completed before the timed trial. Be sure to document the assistive device used.
Cut-off time for high risk of falls: Cut-off times to classify subjects as high risk for falling vary based on the study and participants. By using regression analysis Shumway-Cook used 14 seconds as the cut-off. Thus, if a subject took 14 seconds or longer he or she was classified as high-risk for falling.1
