Reliability of the performance tests in people with total hip arthroplasty: 50-Foot Timed Walk, and 30-Second Chair Stand Test (original) (raw)

Abstract

Introduction: Evaluation of outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is important. Using objective assessment methods is essential to clinicians for determining both the prognosis and the healing of patients after THA. Performance-based measurement methods are commonly used for measuring physical function in patients, planned or implemented THA. 50-Foot Timed Walk (50FTW) and 30-Second Chair Stand Test (30CST) are efficient measurement methods for measuring physical function in patients with lower extremity arthritis. However, reliability of these tests has not been shown in patients with THA yet. Objectives: The aim is to investigate the reliability of 50FWT and 30CST in patients who have undergone THA. Methods: A total of 37 patients with THA participated in this study. 30CTS and 50FWT were performed twice trials with 5-minute intervals. Between the first and second trials, patients waited for an hour on sitting position in order to prevent fatigue. The Harris Hip Score (HH...
