简要总结
To the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no existing studies that have evaluated the reliability and validity of the Figure-of-Eight Walk Test (F8WT) and the 360° Turn Test (360°TT) specifically in patients with total hip arthroplasty (PwTHA). The objective of this investigation was to assess the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the F8WT and 360°TT within this patient population.
详细描述
This study involves a cross-sectional design with 54 unilateral PwTHA cases. Assessments to be conducted during the first session include the F8WT, 360°TT, Timed Up and Go (TUG), and Harris Hip Score (HHS). Subsequently, the F8WT and 360°TT will be retested one hour after the initial test. The reliability of these tests will be determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Concurrent validity will be assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Additionally, the standard error of measurement (SEM95) and minimum detectable change (MDC95) will be calculated for the F8WT and 360°TT.

结局指标
主要结局
Figure of eight walk test (F8WT)
时间窗: 1 hour after baseline
The F8WT was developed to evaluate parameters such as gait speed, balance, and directional turning capabilities. The protocol involves participants walking in a figure-eight pattern around two cones positioned 1.52 meters apart. Timing commences when participants initiate the task from the midpoint of the figure-eight trajectory and concludes upon their return to the starting location. Participants' walking directions and chosen speeds are adjusted according to individual preferences and comfort levels.
360° turn test (360°TT)
时间窗: 1 hour after baseline
The 360°TT serves as a performance evaluation tool aimed at assessing dynamic balance capabilities. The protocol requires participants to execute a complete 360° turn in the shortest possible duration. Turn time and the number of steps employed during the maneuver are recorded using a stopwatch. A turn duration exceeding 2.1 seconds is indicative of a heightened risk of balance deterioration and potential functional impairment.
