Evaluation of motor function using the two-step test in type C day care service
[Purpose] Evaluation of motor function in preventive care services using a convenient method is necessary. The two-step test is clinically useful in evaluating motor function. Thus, we aimed to assess motor function using the two-step test in day care service type C. [Participants and Methods] The t...

description | [Purpose] Evaluation of motor function in preventive care services using a convenient method is necessary. The two-step test is clinically useful in evaluating motor function. Thus, we aimed to assess motor function using the two-step test in day care service type C. [Participants and Methods] The two-step test value and motor function used in day care service type C were evaluated in 23 elderly females (mean age: 77.4 ± 6.7 years). [Results] Timed Up and Go test and two-step test results were highly correlated. [Conclusion] The results suggest that the factors constituting the two-step test showed a dynamic balance. Intervention for step or dynamic balance is important to improve the gait ability of elderly females in type C day care service. |
