Normative Data of Dynamic Gait Index and 5 Time Sit to Stand Test Among Elderly Population

The goal of this observational study is to measure the normative data for dynamic gait index and 5 time sit to stand test in elderly population. This study aimed for to take normative measurement of dynamic gait index and five time sit to stand test among elderly population and to compare the preliminary values of above mentioned tests with age.

About this study

Anthropometric factors affect the stability limits of the individual and can affect the motor strategies relating to balance control. The core elements of anthropometry are height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body circumferences (waist, hip, and limbs), and skin-fold thickness. Some anthropometric variables, such as body mass, are directly related to postural balance. Due to lack of normative data for dynamic gait index and five times sit to stand test in elderly population, this study aimed to formulate normative values for dynamic gait index and five times sit to stand test among elderly and correlation with anthropometric measures. Objectives: The objective of this study was to take normative measurement of dynamic gait index and five times sit to stand test among elderly population and to compare the preliminary values of above mentioned tests with age. All possible elder population was taken in current study to calculate the normative values of these two tests, five times STS to measure the ability to get up from a chair and DGI to record dynamic gait tasks in elder people

Treatment and study plan

Dynamic gait index and 5 time sit to stand test

Other

dynamic gait index and 5 time sit to stand test was administered to all sample size of 400

Primary outcomes

  1. Dynamic Gait index

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    8 functional walking tests are performed by the subject and marked out of three according to the lowest category which applies. 24 is the total individual score possible. Scores of 19 or less have been related to increase incidence of falls.

    Equipment needed

    Box (Shoebox), Cones (2), Stairs, 20' walkway, 15" wide

    Completion Time

    15 minutes

  2. 5 times sit to stand test

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The Five Times Sit to Stand Test measures one aspect of transfer skill. The test provides a method to quantify functional lower extremity strength and identify movement strategies a patient uses to complete transitional movements.

    The equipment need in performing 5XSST test includes: Stopwatch and chair with straight back (43-45 cm, 17-18 inches high). Then the instruction is given by asking the test taker to sit on the chair by resting their back. Also, the test taker is instructed to fold their arms across their chest. Then the test taker should be instructed to do sit-to-stand five times, as quickly as possible, at the count of go and without their back or leg resting on the chair between the interval of repetition
