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 [2]. 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[3]. In addition to the paper version, the mobile phone application is also available [4]. Training videos have been provided by NIA to administer the test in a standardised manner [3].
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 [5][6][7][8].
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 SPPB includes three subtests.
1. Chair Stand Test
Single chair stand: The participant is asked to perform single sit-to-stand movement as quickly as possible. The time is recorded.
Scoring:
- Participant stood without using arms: Go to Repeated Chair Stand Test
- Participant used arms to stand: End test; score as 0 points
- Test not completed: End test; score as 0 points
Repeated chair stand: The participant is asked to perform 5 sit-to-stand movement as quickly as possible. The time is recorded.
Scoring:
- Participant unable to complete 5 chair stands or completes stands in >60 sec: 0 points
- If chair stand time is 16.70 sec or more: 1 point
- If chair stand time is 13.70 to 16.69 sec: 2 points
- If chair stand time is 11.20 to 13.69 sec: 3 points
- If chair stand time is 11.19 sec or less: 4 points
2. Balance tests
The participant is asked to stand unsupported for 10 seconds with your feet in a certain position (feet together, semi tandem, full tandem).
Scoring:

Side-by-side-stand
- Held for 10 sec: 1 point
- Not held for 10 sec: 0 points
- Not attempted: 0 points
- If 0 points, end Balance Tests
Semi-Tandem Stand
- Held for 10 sec: 1 point
- Not held for 10 sec: 0 points
- Not attempted: 0 points
- If 0 points, end Balance Tests
Tandem Stand
- Held for 10 sec: 2 points
- Held for 3 to 9.99 sec: 1 point
- Held for < than 3 sec: 0 points
- Not attempted: 0 points
3. Gait speed test
The test measures gait speed. The participant walks to the line on the floor (3 or 4 meters) at a normal pace. The time is recorded.
Scoring:
For 4-Meter Walk:
- If time is more than 8.70 sec: 1 point
- If time is 6.21 to 8.70 sec: 2 points
- If time is 4.82 to 6.20 sec: 3 points
- If time is less than 4.82 sec: 4 points
For 3-Meter Walk:
- If time is more than 6.52 sec: 1 point
- If time is 4.66 to 6.52 sec: 2 points
- If time is 3.62 to 4.65 sec: 3 points
- If time is less than 3.62 sec: 4 points
The training can also be found on Youtube (see videos below).
Reference[edit | edit source]
Equipment required:
- Pencil
- Stopwatch
- Instruction tool (paper or mobile app)
- Ruler
- Chair
Reliability[edit | edit source]
Studies including older adults reported excellent interrater reliability of the SPPB (ICC = 0.81 to 0.91)[11][12]. Test-retest reliability in people with dementia is also found excellent (ICC = 0.84)[12]. Another study including people with pulmonary diseases reported excellent interrater reliability (ICC = 0.92)[11].
Validity[edit | edit source]
A study included 48 people with MS reported that SPPB scores were strongly associated with measures of lower extremity function (|r s| = .66–.79), and weakly associated with measures of upper extremity function (|r s| = .03–.33)[13].
