The Non-Paced 3-Minute Sit-to-Stand Test: Feasibility and Clinical Relevance for Pulmonary Rehabilitation Assessment
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), notably by increasing exercise tolerance. Easy-to-implement sit-to-stand tests can facilitate the assessment of exercise tolerance in routine practice. This...

| description | Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), notably by increasing exercise tolerance. Easy-to-implement sit-to-stand tests can facilitate the assessment of exercise tolerance in routine practice. This retrospective study conducted in a real-life setting was designed to describe the non-paced 3-min sit-to-stand test (3-STST) and to evaluate its relationship with HRQoL (VQ11 questionnaire) to identify the determinants of 3-STST performance and to analyze the evolution of 3-STST performance and HRQoL over the course of a community-based PR program. Seventy-one COPD patients (age 69 ± 10 years old; 51% with GOLD spirometric stages III–IV) were included. Mean ± SD 3-STST performance at the initial PR assessment was 43 ± 15 repetitions. This performance was significantly associated with HRQoL and other indicators of clinical severity (lung function, dyspnea, and functional capacities). During the multivariate analysis, younger age, exertional dyspnea with mMRC ≤ 1, and better HRQoL were significantly associated with better 3-STST performance. From the initial to second PR assessment, changes in 3-STST performance were significantly associated with changes in HRQoL. This study provides evidence that the non-paced 3-STST is feasible and might be clinically relevant in the assessment of patients with COPD referred for community-based PR. This test deserves to be prospectively validated. |
