The modified 30-second chair stand test (m-30s-CST) is more sensitive than handgrip strength in detecting muscle strength changes and predicting physical performance in hospitalized geriatric patients

The m-30s-CST is superior to HGS for assessing changes in muscle strength and serves as a better proxy for physical performance, and is probably a predictor of two-year mortality in hospitalized geriatric patients.

Abstract

The m-30s-CST is superior to HGS for assessing changes in muscle strength and serves as a better proxy for physical performance, and is probably a predictor of two-year mortality in hospitalized geriatric patients.
