The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is a validated test that evaluates balance, gait speed, and lower limb strength. It provides a simple, reliable measure of functional performance, widely used in clinical research and geriatric assessment.
Key Outcomes
SPPB Score
Automatically calculates the total Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score with complete traceability. Every subtask contribution is transparently documented, allowing users to understand exactly how the final score was derived.
SPPB Sub Scores
Provides individual subscores for each SPPB component - balance, gait speed, and chair rise performance - enabling more detailed insight into specific areas of lower-extremity function.
Sit-to-Stand Test Measures
Includes the full range of advanced Sit-to-Stand (STS) measures available in the dedicated STS module, automatically computed from the SPPB chair rise task.
SwayTest Measures
Generates detailed postural sway and balance metrics from the SPPB balance tasks, using the same validated measures available in the standalone SwayTest module.
4-Meter Walk Analysis
Enables detailed gait analysis during the 4-meter walk test, providing additional digital mobility markers that may support early recognition of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.
Longitudinal Progress Tracking
Tracks changes in SPPB performance over time, making it easy to monitor functional decline, rehabilitation progress, or treatment response through clear trend visualization and historical comparisons.
