“…Lee et al 19 ) found that as the height of obstacles that were crossed by patients with hemiplegia increases, stance time on the unaffected side also increases. Although multiple functions contribute to the support capacity of the standing position 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ) , with lower limb muscle strength as a single example, the corresponding factor measured in this study was knee extension muscle strength. We selected knee extension muscle strength on the unaffected side as the pertinent factor for subjects in the BRS V–VI group based on our conclusion that this factor should reflect the support function of the unaffected limb.…”

[Purpose] To evaluate various key functions related to obstacle crossing motions in hemiplegic people based on the paralysis degree. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-seven patients with maintenance-stage hemiplegia who could independently ambulate outdoors were included. Subjects’ crossing movements were measured using obstacles with heights of 10%, 20%, and 30% of the trochanter length. The relationship among maximal crossing height and isometric knee extension muscle strength, one leg standing time, Trunk Impairment Scale score, disease duration, and subject age was examined, as was the target variable of maximum crossing height and the top four measurement items, to determine the explanatory variables. The participants were grouped based on Brunnstrom Recovery Stages III–IV (severe spasticity) and V–VI (mild spasticity). [Results] The explanatory variables were the Trunk Impairment Scale in the severe spasticity group and unaffected side-knee extension muscle strength in the mild spasticity group (contribution rates: 75.6% and 21.0%, respectively). [Conclusion] Trunk function in the severe spasticity group majorly contributed to crossing obstacles. Furthermore, knee extension muscle strength on the unaffected side in the mild spasticity group moderately contributed to crossing obstacles. Selecting and implementing a physical therapy routine that is aimed at improving function, depending on the severity of paralysis, is necessary.

We investigated whether or not the 10-second chair stand test for the frail elderly (Frail CS-10) is useful for assessing Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. [Subjects] The subjects were 21 PD patients. [Method] We measured the Frail CS-10 and the strength of the quadriceps femoris, which has hitherto been used as a representative index of lower limb strength, and examined their relationships with indices of lower limb function [sway, timed up-and-go test (TUG), 5m maximum walking speed, 10m obstacle course time (10m OCT), and the motor subscore of the functional independence measure (FIM-M)]. [Results] The Frail CS-10 showed significant correlations with TUG, 10m OCT, and FIM-M. However, quadriceps femoris strength did not show a significant correlation with any of the physical functions. [Conclusion] The Frail CS-10 is a simple assessment method for estimating the lower limb function of PD patients, and is better than the quadriceps femoris strength, which has hitherto been used as a representative index of lower limb strength.
