CLIN REHABIL , 2005, vol. 19, n° 5, p. 496-504 Doc n°: 121676 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : MA - GERONTOLOGIE, DE34 - TRAUMATISMES - HANCHE, DF15 -SIT-TO-STAND Objective: To investigate the test-retest reliability of measures of strength, balance, gait and functional performance when used with older people following hip fracture. Subjects: Thirty people (16 hospital inpatients and 14 community dwellers). Design: Subjects underwent two assessments: one day apart for the hospital inpatients and one week apart for the community dwellers. Measurement: Strength (dynamometer, sphygmomanometer, spring balance, lateral step-up ability), balance (sway-meter, Functional Reach Test, single leg stance time, Step Test), gait (timed 6-m walk with steps taken, base of support and step length), and functional performance (PPME total score and timed supine-to-sit and sit-to-stand) were measured. Results: Eleven of the 14 continuously scaled measurement tools achieved excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) > 0.75) for one or more tests. Langue : ANGLAIS |
