2013年5月20日 · The 30CST is a measurement that assesses functional lower extremity strength in older adults. It is part of the Fullerton Functional Fitness Test Battery. This test was developed to overcome the floor effect of the 5 or 10 repetition sit to stand test in older adults.

CDC’s STEADI tools and resources can help you screen, assess, and intervene to reduce your patient’s fall risk. For more information, visit www.cdc.gov/steadi. A below average score indicates a risk for falls.

The 30 Second Sit to Stand Test which is also known as 30 Second Chair Stand Test (30CST), was designed for testing leg strength and endurance in older adults. It is part of the Fullerton Functional Fitness Test Battery. This test was developed to overcome the floor effect of the five or ten repetition sit to stand a test in older adults. [1] .

Description: Assesses functional lower extremity strength, transitional movements, balance, and fall risk. Therapist Instructions: Have the patient sit with their back against the back of the chair. Count each stand aloud so that the patient remains oriented. Stop the test when the patient achieves the standing position on the 5th repetition.

Cut-of scores and normative values may be used in conjunction with a complete evaluation to interpret the meaning of a patient’s 5TSTS score. What Constitutes a Change in 5TSTS Scores? ¡ Change can be determined using values of Minimal Detectable Change (MDC) and Minimal Clinically Important Diference (MCID).
