Abstract

Objective
To determine the relationship and difference of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) between normal population and stroke patients, and to examine the relationship of the SPPB that used to assess lower extremity function in old, and Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) in stroke patients.
Method
One hundred and fifty nine stroke patients and 159 sex, age-matched normal population were included. All subjects were enrolled to interview and administer the SPPB and FIM, MBI. The SPPB included assessment of standing balance, a walking speed (timed 4 m walk), and chair stand (timed test of rising 5 times from a chair).
Results
The stroke patients showed significantly lower SPPB score than control group. The age, sex, direction of affection, and duration of stroke did not influence SPPB score respectively. In comparison of FIM and MBI, SPPB was significantly correlated with FIM and MBI, especially motor subtotal score of FIM.
Conclusion
SPPB may be useful tool to assess and predict the physical function in stroke patients. (J Korean Acad Rehab Med 2009; 33: 533-537)
