Objective
[edit | edit source]
The Four Square Step Test (FSST) is used to assess dynamic stability and the ability of the subject to step over objects forward, sideways, and backward.[1]
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
- Older adults/geriatrics
- Stroke
- Parkinson's Disease
- Vestibular Disorders
- Limb Loss/Amputation
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
The FSST may be an effective and valid tool for measuring dynamic balance and the subject's fall risk. It has been shown to have strong correlations with other measures of balance and mobility with good reliability shown in a number of populations.[2]
