This pilot study aimed to determine if the Senior Fitness Test (SFT) battery can be applied to subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) and whether its results can be reliable indicators of disease severity.
Thirty people with mild to moderate PD performed the SFT and completed the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). To compare the metric properties of the SFT battery with the UPDRS and the PDQ-39, a SFT sum-score was created.
The tests that compose the SFT were successfully completed by the patients, except for the "Two-Minute Step Test" (2MST), which had to be shortened. We observed a strong correlation among the SFT's sum-score and the total scores of the PDQ-39 and the UPDRS. Some correlation was also found among the SFT's sum-score and the analyzed subscales, except for those assessing mental and cognitive levels.
The SFT appears to be a useful tool to assess functional fitness in people with PD: it can be carried out in the clinical setting albeit with some minor modifications. However, its validity as an indicator of disease severity remains to be confirmed.
本初步研究旨在确定 Senior Fitness Test（SFT）能否应用于帕金森病（PD）患者，以及其结果能否作为疾病严重程度的可靠指标。
30 名轻度至中度 PD 患者完成了 SFT，并完成了帕金森病问卷（PDQ-39）和统一帕金森病评定量表（UPDRS）。为了比较 SFT 与 UPDRS 和 PDQ-39 的度量特性，创建了 SFT 总和评分。
除必须缩短的“两分钟踏步测试”（2MST）外，患者成功完成了 SFT 的所有测试。我们观察到 SFT 的总和评分与 PDQ-39 和 UPDRS 的总分之间存在很强的相关性。SFT 的总和评分与分析的子量表之间也存在一定的相关性，除了评估心理和认知水平的子量表。
SFT 似乎是评估 PD 患者功能健康的有用工具：尽管需要进行一些微小的修改，但可以在临床环境中进行。然而，其作为疾病严重程度指标的有效性仍有待证实。
