Test-Retest Reliability of Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST) in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Functional independence in adults is conditioned by lower limb muscle strength. Thus, it seems important to assess strength using reliable and easy reproduce measurements. The purpose of this study was conduct a systematic review meta-analysis collect studies that examined the test-retest reliability Five Times Sit Stand Test (FTSST) adults. search conducted PubMed, Web Science, Scopus databases, including all published up 28 December 2020. To be included, had include relative scores (ICC) maximum torque or standard error measurements (SEM) FTSST. A total 693 were initially identified, but only 8 met eligibility criteria included meta-analysis, covering 14 groups with 400 participants. Relative inter-rater results (ICC = 0.937, p < 0.001, n 400) revealed excellent FTSST sitting standing performance, limbs balance control. Conclusion: highly tool for assessing strength, control, mobility both healthy those pathologies.
