Simple Summary The Five Times Sit to Stand Test is a useful tool for assessing the ability to
stand and sit. Its performance is dependent on lower limb muscle strength and balance …

In frail older subjects, the motor output of the antigravity muscles is fundamental in resisting
falls. These muscles undergo accelerated involutions when they are inactive and the risk of …

Objectives To identify the optimal cutoff points for poor physical function [measured by a 5-
times sit-to-stand (5-STS) test] associated with slowness in community-dwelling older adults …

Objective To explore the optimal frequency of whole-body vibration training for improving the
balance and physical performance in older people with chronic stroke. Design a single-blind …

Background The 4-meter walk test (4-MWT) is a widely used measure to assess gait speed
in the elderly but has not been validated for stroke survivors to date. Objectives To assess …

Background: Trunk impairment produces disorders of motor control, balance and gait. Core
stability exercises (CSE) are a good strategy to improve local strength of trunk, balance and …

Purpose: This study modified established clinical balance and walking measures and
estimated the reliability, validity, and feasibility of using these measures to assess people …

This study aimed to analyze the responsiveness of the 5STS test among stroke patients and
to estimate the MCIDs (minimal clinically important differences) for different severity levels of …

Introduction Exercise and nutrition are the best targets to tackle mobility issues in community-
dwelling older adults. As exercise response relies on multiple factors, improving the …

Purpose This study evaluated whether anthropometric measurements and the five times sit-
to-stand test could be used to identify dynapenia. The cut-off values of accurate screening …
