Abstract

Aim: To evaluate differences among older patients demonstrating low sit-to-stand (STS) performance in the 30-s STS test (30 s-STS) and/or the 5-repetition STS test (5r-STS). Findings: Patients with low performance in both STS tests had lower gait speed, were more frail, and had more prior falls compared to patients with low performance in one test only. Message: The 30 s-STS and the 5r-STS test cannot be used interchangeable and represent different aspects of physical function.
