Reliability of the 50-foot walk test and 30-sec chair stand test in total knee arthroplasty

TL;DR: These tests are simple, no time consuming and constitute sensitive methods to measure the functional performance in patients with TKA in the clinical settings and Clinicians and researchers may use these tests to quantify even small changes in functional performance for patients withTKA.

Exercise, manual therapy, and use of booster sessions in physical therapy for knee osteoarthritis: a multi-center, factorial randomized clinical trial

TL;DR: Primary outcomes suggest MT may have some short term benefit, and booster sessions may improve responder status and knee pain at 1 year, however, the role of booster sessions remains unclear in sustaining treatment effects and warrants further study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-reported knee pain and disability among healthy individuals: reference data and factors associated with the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and KOOS-Child.

TL;DR: Age- and gender-stratified reference data for the KOOS and KOOS-Child have been developed to guide interpretation of results in practice and research for individuals with knee disorders and socio-demographic characteristics were similar to the Australian population.

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.
