Objective[edit | edit source]

The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is a series of tests used to evaluate lower extremity function and mobility in older people[1]. The test includes three different domains (walking, sit-to-stand and balance) to assess functional mobility. This test, developed by the National Institute of Aging (NIA), can be used free of charge without permission to evaluate the lower extremity functions of elderly individuals. In addition to the paper version, the mobile phone application is also available. Training videos have been provided by NIA to administer the test in a standardised manner.

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

The SPPB is used to assess functional mobility in community-dwelling older adults, people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), pulmonary diseases or cognitive impairment/dementia.

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

The test is easy to administer and takes approximately 10 mins. Administration instructions have been provided in detail in a CD provided by NIA. The training can also be found on Youtube (see videos below).
