Term Description

This test is adapted from the 4-meter walk test in the Short Physical Performance Battery. Participants are asked to walk a short distance (four meters) at their usual pace. Participants complete one practice and then two timed trials. Raw scores [LOINC:83169-3][LOINC:83170-1] are recorded as the time in seconds required to walk 4 meters on each of the two trials, with the better trial used for scoring. The test takes approximately three minutes to administer (including instructions and practice). This test is recommended for ages 7-85.
