Objectives To describe the patterns of engagement in mental, physical, and social activity (MA, PA, and SA) and to examine the relationship between combined activity engagement and physical function among community-dwelling older adults. Design Cross-sectional correlational study. Setting Multiple communities. Participants A total of 466 individuals aged 55 years or older. Measurements Physical function was assessed using grip strength and gait speed. Engagement in PA, MA and SA was obtained from self-report questionnaires. Results We identified four classes (“Active PA and MA”, “Active MA”, “Active PA”, and “Inactive”) that significantly differed in the frequency of engagement in MA and PA using latent class analysis. SA didn't differ across classes. Controlling for age, the “Active PA and MA”, “Active MA”, “Active PA” groups displayed similar grip strength that was superior to the “Inactive” group. “Active PA and MA” group had best gait speed relative to other groups, especially “Active MA” and “Inactive” group, while the “Active PA”, “Active MA”, and “Inactive” group were similar in gait speed. Conclusion Combined physical and mental activity engagement was associated with better physical function, especially in gait speed. Future interventional research should investigate the combination of both physical and cognitive training to prevent decline of physical function in older adults.

“…The chances of minimal error is quite possible with this testing procedure as variation on muscle strength does not occur drastically over days unless there is some specified neurological, metabolic or nutritional causes . Even studies on subjects with total knee replacement 30-second chair stand test showed high to very high reliability indicating the test seems to be reliable and feasible in both disease and nondisease state [12].…”

Background: Maintenance of physical activity is of paramount importance in geriatric care and it is imperative to be able to objectively assess physical activity level in the geriatric population. However, majority of the established assessment protocols are designed for relatively younger adults, and are not validated for the elderly. The Senior Fitness Test (SFT) is aimed at assessing the underlying functional fitness for older adults. Methods: A community based prospective study to assess the test-retest reliability of SFT in elderly subjects, aged 65 -75 years. Subjects with any acute illnesses, acute musculoskeletal injury, hypertension, and with visual problems hampering test performance were excluded. The study was conducted by two observers on two days at the subject's own locality. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was used as a measure of relative reliability. The standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change (MDC) were used to measure absolute reliability. Results: Thirty one participants (mean age-68.32±2.58 years) were assessed. The ICC reflected high reliability (0.934-0.994) in all SFT items. MDC values (90% CI) for various SFT were as follows: chair sit and reach test = 1.55, back scratch test = 1.41, 30 second chair stand test = 1.15, 30-second arm curl test = 2.53, 8 foot up-and-go test = 1.47 and 2-minute step test = 1.40. Bland-Altman plots for all the tests were positively skewed and heteroscedastic. Conclusion:The SFT showed high test-retest reliability and thus is suitable for evaluating physical fitness in elderly and can be utilized in larger studies for the geriatric population.

“…Sit-to-stand movement in nonspecific LBP Kahraman et al 167 In this study, the 30CST had very high intrarater reliability (ICC = 0.94) for patients with nonspecific LBP. The ICCs for the 30CST were between 0.84 and 0.98 in community-dwelling older adults (Jones et al, 1999), patients awaiting joint replacement surgery of the hip or knee (Gill and McBurney, 2008) and patients with total knee and hip arthroplasty (Unver et al, 2015a(Unver et al, , 2015b. These findings suggest that the 30CST is a reliable tool to assess STS movement in several conditions including nonspecific LBP.…”

“…Some previous studies indicated that the five times STS test as a field-based method has conflicting test-retest reliability results in LBP (Simmonds et al, 1998;Smeets et al, 2006). Besides this protocol, different authors have suggested several various protocols for the field-based STS test such as repeating the chair rise 10 times (Newcomer et al, 1993) and counting the number of repetitions completed during a specified time interval (either 10 or 30 s) (Bohannon et al, 1994;Thapa et al, 1994;Bohannon et al, 1995;Unver et al, 2015aUnver et al, , 2015b. Because the 30-s chair stand test (30CST) makes it possible to assess wider variations in ability levels and reduce potential floor effects (Gill and McBurney, 2008), the 30CST stands out among all of these methods.…”

One of the most difficult tasks associated with the management of nonspecific low back pain (LBP) is its clinical assessment. Objective functional methods have been developed for assessment. However, few studies have used daily activities such as sit-to-stand (STS). The aim was to compare the psychometric properties of two commonly used STS assessment methods. A test-retest reliability study design was used. Participants with nonspecific LBP performed the 30-s chair stand test (30CST) and the STS test in Balance Master, which measures weight transfer, rising index and centre of gravity sway velocity. The same tests were reperformed after 48-72 h. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change and coefficient of variation were calculated to compare the reliability. The correlations between the tests, the Oswestry Disability Index and pain intensity were examined for validation. The 30CST had very high intrarater reliability (ICC=0.94). The variables of STS test in Balance Master had moderate intrarater reliability (ICC=0.62-0.69). There were significant correlations between the 30CST, Oswestry Disability Index and pain intensity at activity (P<0.01). The rising index was the only one variable that was significantly correlated with pain intensity at activity (P<0.05). The 30CST as the field-based method to measure STS movement was better than the laboratory-based method in terms of their psychometric properties. Moreover, the 30CST was associated with disability and pain related to LBP. The 30CST is a simple, cheap, less time consuming and psychometrically appropriate method to use in individuals with nonspecific LBP.
