Objective To examine the concurrent validity of the Six-Spot Step Test (SSST) with clinical measures of walking and spatiotemporal measures of gait in multiple sclerosis (MS), and to understand the utility of the SSST in individuals with both low and high levels of disability. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Laboratory. Participants Individuals with relapsing-remitting MS (N=29). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures In a single visit, demographic information (age, sex, Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS], symptom duration) and functional measures (SSST, timed Up and Go [TUG] test, timed 25-foot walk [T25FW] test, spatiotemporal measures of walking) were collected. Results The SSST demonstrates concurrent validity with the TUG test, T25FW test, and 2-minute walk test (2MWT) (P≤.0002). Both spatial and temporal measures of gait are significantly related to SSST performance (P<.004 in individuals with lower disability score the ssst remains strongly related to tug test and t25fw performances whereas it fails relate any other measures. however higher group is significantly walk velocity both temporal spatial measures of gait.> Conclusions The SSST is an alternative test for lower-extremity function in the clinical setting that may useful in both higher and lower EDSS groups. The SSST requires minimal training to administer and may be a time-efficient measure of real-life functional performance that would be useful in large clinical trials. |
