BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Five-times-sit-to-stand test (FTSST) is a reliable tool for measuring lower limb functional strength and balance ability. However, reports of the reliability of FTSST in children with cerebral palsy have been scarce. The purposes of this study were (1) to investigate the test-retest and inter-rater reliability of the FTSST and (2) to investigate the correlation between the FTSST and standard functional balance tests in children with cerebral palsy.
Cross-sectional study.
Thirty-three school children aged from 6 to 18 years with Gross motor functional classification system expanded and revised version (GMFCS-E&R) level I to III were recruited. Reliability of the FTSST and concurrent validity between FTSST and Timed up and go test (TUG) and Berg balance scale (BBS) were determined using the Pearson product moment correlation.
The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for test-retest and inter-rater reliability of FTSST were 0.91 and 0.88 respectively. FTSST showed moderate correlation with TUG (r = 0.552, P < 0.01) and with BBS (r = -0.561, P < 0.01).
FTSST is a reliable assessment tool and correlates with functional balance ability tests in children with mild to moderate cerebral palsy.
背景/目的：五次坐站测试（FTSST）是一种可靠的测量下肢功能力量和平衡能力的工具。然而，关于脑瘫儿童 FTSST 可靠性的报告却很少。本研究的目的是：（1）研究 FTSST 的测试重测信度和评分者间信度；（2）研究脑瘫儿童 FTSST 与标准功能平衡测试之间的相关性。
横断面研究。
共招募了 33 名年龄在 6 至 18 岁之间、粗大运动功能分类系统扩展和修订版（GMFCS-E&R）I 级至 III 级的在校儿童。使用 Pearson 积矩相关来确定 FTSST 的重测信度和评分者间信度以及与计时起立行走测试（TUG）和 Berg 平衡量表（BBS）的同时效度。
FTSST 的重测信度和评分者间信度的组内相关系数（ICC）分别为 0.91 和 0.88。FTSST 与 TUG（r = 0.552，P < 0.01）和 BBS（r = -0.561，P < 0.01）均呈中度相关。
FTSST 是一种可靠的评估工具，与轻至中度脑瘫儿童的功能平衡能力测试相关。
