Term Description

The raw score on the 4-Meter Walk Test is the number of seconds it takes to walk four meters, using the better of two trials [LOINC:83169-3][LOINC:83170-1]. This is then transformed into a computed score reported in meters per second. For example, if it took a participant two seconds to walk four meters, one would divide four by two to get two meters per second as the score. Toolbox norms and scale scores are not available for this test; however, descriptive statistics obtained from the sample of participants who were administered the test during the Toolbox norming study are available in the NIH Toolbox Technical Manual.
