OARSI recommended performance-based tests to assess physical function in people diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis

TLDR
The OARSI recommended set of performance-based tests of physical function represents the tests of typical activities relevant to individuals diagnosed with hip or knee OA and following joint replacements and are complementary to patient-reported measures.

Suitability of the animated activity questionnaire for use as computer adaptive test: establishing the AAQ-CAT

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors developed and evaluated an animated activity questionnaire (AAQ)-based computer-adaptive test (CAT) to facilitate the application of the AAQ in daily clinical care.

Individuals with gluteal tendon repair display similar hip biomechanics to those of a healthy cohort during a sit-to-stand task.

TL;DR: In this paper, the sit-to-stand (STS) task was performed in individuals with and without gluteal-tendon repair and the differences in performance between groups were assessed using Generalised linear multivariate models and statistical parametric mapping.

Retention of kinematic patterns during a 6-minute walk test in people with knee osteoarthritis.

TL;DR: In this article , lower limb sagittal plane joint angles during a 6MWT for people with mild-moderate knee OA were assessed using statistical parametric mapping (SPM) to investigate changes in kinematic traces over the gait cycle.

Wearable sensor-based measures of step-up transfers are supplementary to patient-reported outcome measures following total joint arthroplasty.

TL;DR: In this paper, the longitudinal assessment of step-up performance in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and correlation with subjective patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) was investigated.

On “Quality of life and self-reported lower extremity function…” Galantino ML, Kietrys DM, Parrott JS, et al. Phys Ther. doi: 10.2522/ptj.20130337.

TL;DR: The quality of life and self-reported lower extremity function of adults who are HIV+ and either with or without distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale and Lower Limb Functional Index were investigated.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons

TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health

TL;DR: The World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has been revised to recognize that the concept of disability resides largely in the sociocultural domain of the authors' lives rather than being an attribute of the individual.

Predicting the probability for falls in community-dwelling older adults using the Timed Up & Go Test.

TL;DR: The TUG is a sensitive and specific measure for identifying community-dwelling adults who are at risk for falls and the ability to predict falls is not enhanced by adding a secondary task when performing the TUG.

Comfortable and maximum walking speed of adults aged 20—79 years: reference values and determinants

TL;DR: Gait speed can be expected to be reduced in individuals of greater age and of lesser height and lower extremity muscle strength and normative values should give clinicians a reference against which patient performance can be compared in a variety of settings.

A 30-s chair-stand test as a measure of lower body strength in community-residing older adults

TL;DR: It was concluded that the 30-s chair stand provides a reasonably reliable and valid indicator of lower body strength in generally active, community-dwelling older adults.
