Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Nursing Home Residents
Nursing home residents (n=59) were evaluated in five different nursing homes.
|
Chair stand test:The number of full stands performed on a seated position that can be completed within 30 seconds was recorded. Arm curl test: The participants were asked to lift weights starting with a full elbow extension and then full flexion. 2-minute step test: The participant was asked to begin stepping as quickly as possible to reach the marked height for two minutes. Chair sit-and-reach test:The participant could extend right or left knee to a full extension, heel on the floor and ankle in a neutral position of 90 degrees. Then, the participant was asked to reach to the toes. Back-scratch test:The participant was asked to stand up and place his/her preferred hand over the same shoulder, palm down and fingers extended, and reach down the middle of the back as far as possible. 8-foot up and go test:The participant was asked to get up from a chair without any arm support and walk a distance of 2.44 meters; then turn around a cone and come back to sit down on the chair. |
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Community-Dwelling Elderly
The community-dwelling elderly people (n=59) were selected from two different municipalities of the city.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
2-minute step test
Time Frame: 2 hours
|
The distance from the iliac crest to the midpoint of the patella was measured by a tape to determine the knee-stepping height.
The midpoint of the distance between these two anatomical structures was determined.
The height of the determined point from the ground was measured and marked on the wall.
The participant was asked to begin stepping as quickly as possible to reach the marked height for two minutes.
The total number of correct dominant side steps was recorded.
If any of the participant's steps (right or left) did not reach the target height, those steps were considered invalid.
