Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Dynamic Gait index

  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

  8 weeks

• 5 times sit to stand test

  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

  8 weeks
