Summary

The aim of the study is to measure the validity and reliability of the StUD test in patients with TKA. Forty-seven patients with primary TKA included in this study. The test-retest reliability of the StUD test was measured with 1-hour interval. Validity was assessed that the 30s Chair Stand Test (30sCS), the Hospital for Special Surgery score (HSS) and Short Form-12 Quality Life Questionnaire (SF-12) were used as comparator instruments.

Step Up and Down Test

Step Up and Down Test In the StUD test, the patient completes maximum number of step-up-down repetitions in 15 seconds. Starting from a standing position, the participant took a full step up, leading with the test leg, then the non-testing leg, until both knees were fully extended and both hips were at least in neutral extension. In order to stress the testing limb concentrically and eccentrically, the participant stepped off the step first with the non-testing limb, then the testing limb. The patient was asked to repeat for 15 seconds as quickly as possible. The physical therapist stood to the side of the step for safety and so that he/she could observe the technique and ensure that the participant came to a full step up and down during the test.
