Philanthropic support truly drives our mission and vision. The 30CST is a measurement that assesses functional lower extremity strength in older adults. This test was developed to overcome the floor effect of the 5 or 10 repetition sit to stand test in older adults. Measurements of time are more precise 5x sit to stand; 10x sit to stand than counting of repetitions within a particular time frame 30 second sit to stand; 10 second sit to stand.
Individuals who are weak however may not be able to complete the requisite number of repetitions and consequently counting the number of repetitions in a pre-set amount of time may be preferable for certain patient populations. Although chair heights vary depending on literature ensure consistency of chair height when performing serial assessment. Do you see an error or have a suggestion for this instrument summary?
