Abstract
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to validate a multi-sensor-based kiosk (automatically measured Short Physical Performance Battery [eSPPB] kiosk) that can perform automated measurement of the SPPB. DESIGN: Prospective, cross-sectional study. SETTING: Rehabilitation clinic of a tertiary-care hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Ambulatory outpatients, aged 65 years or older (N = 40). MEASUREMENTS: The eSPPB kiosk was developed to measure the three components of the SPPB: standing balance, gait speed, and chair stand test with embedded sensors and algorithms. Correlations between the total and component-specific scores of the eSPPB and manually measured SPPB (mSPPB), assessed by a physical therapist, were assessed. Further, correlations between SPPB parameters and geriatric functional measures were also evaluated. RESULTS: This study included 40 participants with a mean age of 74.4 ± 6.5 years, a mean total eSPPB score of 10.1 ± 2.1, and a mean total mSPPB score of 10.2 ± 2.1. The intraclass correlation coefficient between the eSPPB and mSPPB total score was 0.97 (P < .001), and the κ agreement was 0.79 (P < .001). The intraclass coefficients between the components of eSPPB and mSPPB were 0.77 (P < .001), 0.88 (P < .001), and 0.99 (P < .001) for standing balance, gait speed, and chair stand test, respectively. CONCLUSION: The newly developed kiosk might be a viable and efficient method for performing the SPPB in older adults. J Am Geriatr Soc 67:2605-2609, 2019.
