“…However, the BBS showed better relative reliability than the TUG and the FRT, both measures with established reliability in mild to moderate AD. 12,14 Measures of reliability for the TUG were consistent with results reported by Ries and colleagues, 14 based on a sample of people with mild to severe AD; Suttanon and colleagues 12 reported lower values for people with mild to moderate AD. No previous study of reliability in people with AD has published measures of agreement; our study thus adds valuable information on the variation that can be present between assessments using the TUG, FRT, and BBS.…”

Purpose: To measure test-retest and interrater reliability of the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) in community-dwelling adults with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease (AD). Method: A sample of 15 adults (mean age 80.20 [SD 5.03] years) with AD performed three balance tests: the BBS, timed up-and-go test (TUG), and Functional Reach Test (FRT). Both relative reliability, using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), and absolute reliability, using standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC 95 255From the:

To the editor,We thank the authors for their comments on this paper. The authors raise concern over our methodology.1. First, each position lasts 10 s and is repeated three times, 30 s totally in each position. Second, after the subject stands on the surface and achieves stability then we start the test, and screen will tell the subject the test will start. Third, these procedures were guided by the manufacturer, which are also used in lots of studies. 2. What the authors proposed is the detailed way to calculate COP. In our study, the COP is automatically calculated by the software, and what we wrote in the manuscript is the concept of COP. 3. The LSO position is guided by the manufacturer. 4. According to the previous studies, the test-retest reliability is excellent (ICC = 0.91) [1] (http ://www. reha bmea sure s.org/List s/Reha bMea sure s/Disp Form . aspx ?ID=897). To confirm that, an additional experiment was also conducted based on a sample with ten subjects in two independent testers. The result showed that the interobserver (ICC = 0.94) and intraobserver reliability (ICC = 0.91) was similar to previous studies.5. ANOVA with repeated measure is commonly used in repeated measure design. In our study, it is not a repeated measure design. 6. We mentioned in the Method section, and we calculated the analysis power using an interactive program named PS (Power and Sample Size Calculation version 3.

“…(9) The version called "test of five repetitions stand-up/sit down on chair" ("five -repetition sit-to-stand test ") has been the most frequently used and already had adequate reliability results in individuals with cerebral palsy (10) and good clinical applicability in individuals with Alzheimer's disease. (11) The use of clinical trials to evaluate the stand-up/ sit down on chair in different population groups did not show that the products are appropriate for individuals affected by stroke, since specific characteristics of population groups influence the outcomes of tests and properties. (12) Thus, the present study aimed to determine the clinical tests used to assess the stand-up/sit on chair in individuals affected by stroke, considering its protocols and properties.…”

Introduction: Individuals with stroke usually show limitations in the performance of daily activities. Among the most limited activities is the stand-up/sit-down, which limitation in performance is a major cause of disability in this population. Objective: The aim of the present study was to describe the clinical tests used to evaluate the stand-up/sit-down in individuals with stroke, considering their protocols and properties. Method: A systematic literature review following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol was performed. Systematic literature searches on the following databases MEDLINE/SCIELO/LILACS/PEDro was performed, using search strategies that included terms referring to tests and individuals with stroke. The inclusion criteria were: use of a clinical test to evaluate the stand-up/sit-down in individuals with stroke and be published in any language until april/2013. Results: Fifteen studies were included, which used the test of three repetitions (n=1/15), number of repetitions in 30s (n=1/15) and 60s (n=1/15), and the five repetitions test (n=12/15), for which was investigated reliability with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) (n=2/12, 0.89≤ICC≤0.99), sensibility/specificity (n=2/12, 67%-83%/72-75%) and validity with pearson correlation coefficients (r) (n=1/12, 0.75≤r≤0.83). Most part of the studies (n=8/15) used chair with seat height fixed and reported the number of repetitions of the test (n=7/15), performed with one (n=3/8), two (n=2/8) or three repetitions (n=3/8). Conclusion: The test of five repetitions was used more often in individuals with stroke and the only one for which measurement properties was investigated, which results were adequate. However, standardization of this test considering determining factors for the evaluation of stand-up/sitdown, as chair height and number of repetitions, are still needed.

ResumoIntrodução: Indivíduos acometidos pelo acidente vascular encefálico (AVE) comumente apresentam limitações em atividades de sua rotina diária. Dentre as atividades mais comprometidas encontra-se o levantar/sentar em cadeira, cuja limitação é uma das principais causas de incapacidade nessa população. Objetivo: Determinar os testes clínicos que avaliam o levantar/ sentar em cadeira em indivíduos acometidos pelo AVE, considerando seus protocolos e/ou propriedades de medida ou de aplicabilidade investigadas. Método: Trata-se de revisão sistemática da literatura, conforme o protocolo PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). Foram realizadas pesquisas nas bases de dados MEDLINE/SCIELO/ LILACS/PEDro mediante estratégia de busca composta pela combinação de termos referentes aos testes e aos indivíduos acometidos pelo AVE. Os critérios de inclusão foram: uso de teste clínico que avaliasse o levantar/sentar em cadeira em indivídu-os acometidos pelo AVE e publicação em qualquer idioma até abril/2013. Resul...

Retest reliability of balance and mobility measurements in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease

Abstract: Retest reliability of the balance and mobility measures used in this study ranged between fair to good, and good to excellent. Clinicians should consider retest reliability when deciding which balance and mobility measures are used to assess people with AD.
