Characteristics of Systematic Errors in the Two-step Test for Assessing Locomotive Syndrome among Young and Older Adults
In young adults, the result for the two-step test tended to increase during retesting, requiring caution in interpreting intervention effects. An increase at retesting of more than 0.17 cm/height for the test value or 25-30 cm for test length may be a clinically useful indicator, exceeding the smallest detectable change for both young and older adults based on LOA and MDC.
