We determined normative values for the Unsupported Upper Limb Exercise (UULEX) test and the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test (6PBRT) in a sample of healthy Canadian adults aged 40-89 years. Volunteers completed the UULEX test and the 6PBRT twice with an interval of 30 minutes between tests or after the variables of interest had returned to their baseline values. A total of 97 volunteers completed the tests (53.4% female); their mean age was 64.3 (SD 13.9) years. Mean UULEX scores were 11.4 (SD 3.0) minutes for women and 12.4 (SD 2.5) minutes for men. The mean 6PBRT score was 404.7 (SD 100.1) rings moved. For both tests, younger individuals' scores were higher. As volunteers' age increased, their functional performance on both tests was reduced: UULEX, = -0.50 ( = 0.001), and 6PBRT, = -0.60 ( = 0.001). These normative values increase the usefulness of these tests as measures of upper limb function.
我们确定了40至89岁健康加拿大成年人样本中无支撑上肢运动（UULEX）测试和6分钟钉板环测试（6PBRT）的标准值。志愿者完成了UULEX测试和6PBRT两次，两次测试间隔30分钟，或者在感兴趣的变量恢复到基线值之后进行。共有97名志愿者完成了测试（女性占53.4%）；他们的平均年龄为64.3岁（标准差13.9）。女性的UULEX平均得分为11.4分钟（标准差3.0），男性为12.4分钟（标准差2.5）。6PBRT的平均得分为移动404.7个环（标准差100.1）。对于这两项测试，较年轻个体的得分更高。随着志愿者年龄的增加，他们在两项测试中的功能表现都有所下降：UULEX，r = -0.50（p = 0.001），6PBRT，r = -0.60（p = 0.001）。这些标准值提高了这些测试作为上肢功能测量指标的有用性。
