背景和目的：虽然福田步进试验（FST）是常用的评估个人外周前庭功能障碍或平衡不稳定，重测信度尚未examined.METHODS：16名男性和14名女性，年龄范围从23至56岁（平均32.8岁），没有已知的前庭功能障碍进行了测试。受试者站在两个同心圆的中心，眼睛被蒙上。他们站在原地，伸出双臂，按照规定的步骤走了几步。受试者连续两天接受测试。他们的旋转角，位移角和位移的距离measured.RESULTS：类间相关系数是中等的50步protocol.CONCLUSIONS：如果从业者使用FST，他们应该使用50步协议，但较低的100步protocol.CONCLUSIONS：。此外，如果FST被用作筛查工具，从业人员应谨慎解释FST的结果。该测试应与其他前庭功能测试结合使用。
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although the Fukuda Stepping Test (FST) is commonly used to assess individuals with peripheral vestibular dysfunction or balance instability, test-retest reliability has not been examined.METHODS: Sixteen males and 14 females, ranging in age from 23 to 56 years (mean 32.8 years), with no known vestibular dysfunction were tested. The subjects stood in the center of two concentric circles with eyes blindfolded. They stepped in place with outstretched arms for the prescribed number of steps. Subjects were tested on two consecutive days. Their angle of rotation, angle of displacement and distance of displacement were measured.RESULTS: Inter-class correlation coefficients were moderate for the 50-step protocol but lower for the 100-step protocol.CONCLUSIONS: If practitioners use the FST they should use the 50-step protocol. In addition, practitioners should interpret the results of the FST with caution if it is used as a screening tool. The test should be used in conjunction with other tests for vestibular function.
