Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The 4-meter walk test (4 MWT) and 10-meter walk test (10 MWT) is currently applied using various timing protocols and distance covered that may affect data interpretation with a standard value, and comparisons among the studies. There are two protocols to measure walking speed, static and flying start. A static start (i.e., record the time used to cover a total walkway or from the start to stop walking) or a flying start (i.e., measured the time while walking in the middle of the walkway).
The aim of this study is to investigate the test-retest reliability of the 4 MWT and 10 MWT and their correlation with 5-repetition sit-to-stand in chronic stroke survivors.
