Abstract

Background

Walk tests are common gait speed and endurance assessments. Shorter test versions could benefit adults with intellectual disability. Thus, the concurrent validity of shorter tests was studied.

Methods

Thirty-five adults with mild to moderate intellectual disability, aged 21–64 years, were assessed with the 4-m walk test, 10-m walk test for gait speed, 2-min walk test, and 6-min walk test for endurance. Correlation and Bland–Altman plots analyses were used to establish concurrent validity between shorter and standard tests.

Results

Strong positive relationships were found for gait speed tests, r = 0.94, p < 0.001, and endurance tests, r = 0.83, p < 0.001, and differences between shorter and standard tests were within limits of agreement.

Conclusions

The concurrent validity of shorter walk tests was established in this study. This would mean that adults with intellectual disability with lower levels of fitness could be assessed.

轻度至中度智障成人简短步行测试的并发有效性。

背景介绍步行测试是常见的步态速度和耐力评估方法。较短的测试版本可使智障成人受益。因此，我们对较短测试的同时有效性进行了研究：方法：对 35 名年龄在 21-64 岁之间的轻度至中度智障成人进行了步态速度的 4 米步行测试、10 米步行测试、2 分钟步行测试和 6 分钟步行测试。通过相关性和布兰-阿尔特曼图分析来确定短程测试和标准测试之间的并发有效性：结果：发现步态速度测试之间存在很强的正相关关系，r = 0.94，p 结论：步态速度测试与标准测试之间存在很强的正相关关系：本研究确定了短程步行测试的并发有效性。这意味着可以对体能水平较低的智障成人进行评估：试验注册：澳大利亚-新西兰临床试验注册中心：ACTRN12624000203550。
