We aimed to assess differences among older patients demonstrating low STS performance in the 30 s-STS and/or the 5r-STS.
30 s-STS and 5r-STS were used to assess lower limb muscle strength and function in older adults. Analysis involved 376 patients (≥ 65 years) from a geriatric outpatient clinic for fall assessment.
The mean age of patients was 79.8 (± 6.1) years (67% female). In total, 40.6% had low STS performance with 9.3% presenting only low 30 s-STS, 9.8% only low 5r-STS, and 21.5% low STS performance in both tests. Patients with low STS performance in both tests had lower gait speed, were more often frail, and had more prior falls compared to patients with low STS performance in one test only.
The two STS tests are not interchangeable, and the use of both STS tests capture a wider range of physical abilities in mobility-limited older adults.

我们旨在评估在30秒坐站试验和/或5次坐站试验中表现出低坐站能力的老年患者之间的差异。
采用30秒坐站试验和5次坐站试验评估老年人的下肢肌肉力量和功能。分析涉及来自老年门诊进行跌倒评估的376名患者(≥65岁)。
患者的平均年龄为79.8(±6.1)岁(67%为女性)。总体而言,40.6%的患者坐站能力较低,其中9.3%仅在30秒坐站试验中表现低,9.8%仅在5次坐站试验中表现低,21.5%在两项试验中坐站能力均低。与仅在一项试验中坐站能力低的患者相比,两项试验中坐站能力均低的患者步速较慢,更常虚弱,且既往跌倒次数更多。
两种坐站试验不可互换,同时使用这两种坐站试验能涵盖行动受限老年人群更广泛的身体能力范围。
