ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study aimed to assess Timed-Up and Go (TUG), Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (5xSST), and 4-Meter Walk Test (4MWT) intra- and inter-rater reliability between face-to-face and tele-assessment tools in older adults.METHODS:
A total of 54 older adults (aged ≥ 65 years) were included in the study. Measurements (TUG, 5xSST, and 4MWT) were carried out face-to-face and tele-assessment. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and Bland-Altman plots was used determine intra- and inter-rater reliability.RESULTS:
The mean age of the participants, 53% of whom were female, was 69.59 years. Inter-rater reliability between face-to-face and tele-assessment was as following excellent for TUG (ICC = 0.931) and 5STS (ICC = 0.908), and good for 4MWT (ICC = 0.803). In addition, intra-rater reliability between the two tele-assessments was excellent for all tests. The ICC values for TUG, 5STS, and 4MWT were 0.973, 0.948, and 0.934, respectively.CONCLUSION:
To conclude, the TUG, 5xSST, and 4MWT seem to be reliable tools of tele-assessment in older adults. These practical assessment tools can be used in home settings for older adults as tele-health interventions.Palavras-chave
