Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the validity and responsiveness of three performance-based tests for individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), focusing on the 40-meter fast-paced walk test, 11-step stair climb test, and 30-second chair stand test.
- The tests were conducted with 107 participants aged 40 and older at the Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil, and involved comparing results against established measures of osteoarthritis outcomes.
- Findings showed that while all tests were reliable, only the 40-m FPWT and 11-step SCT were deemed valid and responsive, indicating they can effectively track physical function changes in KOA patients over time.
