Abstract

The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test is designed to measure functional status and physical performance.It was first described in 1994. 1 It is a composite measure assessing walking speed, standing balance, and sit-tostand performance.It has primarily been used to assess elderly J o u r n a l o f PHYSIOTHERAPY

  • The physical and cognitive status of each participant was tested using the 5x sit-to-stand-test (5XSST), grip force test, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

    “In addition, the physical and cognitive status of each participant was tested.A functional test for the general fitness and frailty (5x sit-to-stand-test (5XSST), (Treacy and Hassett 2018)), the grip force test (Allen and Barnett 2011) and a test to measure the cognitive status of the participants (Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), (Nasreddine et al. 2005)) were examined.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
