背景和目的。鞋类在功能到达测试（FRT）、计时起跑测试（TUG）和10米步行测试（TMW）的管理中没有统一的标准化。这项研究是为了确定鞋子是否会影响老年妇女在这些测试中的表现。科目。从辅助生活设施和退休社区招募了35名年龄在65至93岁之间的妇女。方法。每位受试者分别穿着步行鞋、正装鞋和赤脚进行FRT、TUG和TMW。由于进行测试的设施空间有限，22名受试者在油毡地板上进行了FRT和TUG测试，13名受试者在牢固的低桩地毯地板上进行了测试。所有35名受试者都在牢固、低桩、铺有地毯的地板上完成了TMW。使用单向重复测量方差分析（ANOVAs）和Tukey honest显著差异检验来比较3种鞋类条件的结果，并对FRT和TUG的不同地板表面进行单独的ANOVAs。结果。与穿正装鞋的受试者相比，赤脚或穿步行鞋的受试者在FRT上的表现更好，无论地板表面如何。在油毡地板和TMW上进行的拖船的所有鞋类条件中发现了差异。在这些测试中，女性穿步行鞋移动最快，光脚移动较慢，穿正装鞋移动最慢。结论与讨论。当在临床和研究中使用FRT、TUG和TMW时，应记录鞋类，并在每次测试中保持恒定。鞋类干预可以改善老年妇女平衡和步态任务的表现。
Background and Purpose. Footwear is not consistently standardized in the administration of the Functional Reach Test (FRT), Timed Up & Go Test (TUG), and 10-Meter Walk Test (TMW). This study was conducted to determine whether footwear affected performance on these tests in older women. Subjects. Thirty-five women, aged 65 to 93 years, were recruited from assisted living facilities and retirement communities. Methods. Each subject performed the FRT, TUG, and TMW while wearing walking shoes, wearing dress shoes, and barefooted. Because of space constraints at the facilities where the testing was performed, 22 subjects performed the FRT and TUG on a linoleum floor and 13 subjects performed the tests on a firm, low-pile, carpeted floor. All 35 subjects completed the TMW on a firm, low-pile, carpeted floor. One-way repeated-measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs) and a Tukey Honestly Significant Difference test were used to compare the outcomes for the 3 footwear conditions, with separate ANOVAs conducted for the different floor surfaces for the FRT and TUG. Results. Subjects performed better on the FRT when barefooted or wearing walking shoes compared with when they wore dress shoes, regardless of floor surface. Differences were found among all footwear conditions for the TUG performed on the linoleum floor and for the TMW. For these tests, the women moved fastest in walking shoes, slower barefooted, and slowest wearing dress shoes. Conclusion and Discussion. Footwear should be documented and should remain constant from one test occasion to another when the FRT, TUG, and TMW are used in the clinic and in research. Footwear intervention may improve performance of balance and gait tasks in older women.
