Summary

The goal of this observational study is to measure the normative data for dynamic gait index and 5 time sit to stand test in elderly population. This study aimed for to take normative measurement of dynamic gait index and five time sit to stand test among elderly population and to compare the preliminary values of above mentioned tests with age.

Detailed description

Anthropometric factors affect the stability limits of the individual and can affect the motor strategies relating to balance control. The core elements of anthropometry are height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body circumferences (waist, hip, and limbs), and skin-fold thickness. Some anthropometric variables, such as body mass, are directly related to postural balance. Due to lack of normative data for dynamic gait index and five times sit to stand test in elderly population, this study aimed to formulate normative values for dynamic gait index and five times sit to stand test among elderly and correlation with anthropometric measures. Objectives: The objective of this study was to take normative measurement of dynamic gait index and five times sit to stand test among elderly population and to compare the preliminary values of above mentioned tests with age. All possible elder population was taken in current study to calculate the normative values of these two tests, five times STS to measure the ability to get up from a chair and DGI to record dynamic gait tasks in elder people
