Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test via Telehealth in Multiple Sclerosis (Humans)
The study evaluated the feasibility and reliability of the remote Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (rFTSTS) in individuals with multiple sclerosis. The rFTSTS and standard FTSTS showed excellent reliability, and were easy to administer without adverse events. Associations were observed between rFTSTS and lower limb strength measurements.

Why it matters
Establishing reliability for the rFTSTS indicates it may serve as a useful tool for assessing mobility in people with multiple sclerosis, potentially enhancing remote assessments.
What this does not prove
Further validation is needed to confirm the findings and explore the rFTSTS's effectiveness in clinical practice.

findingsRESULTS: The rFTSTS and FTSTS had excellent inter-rater reliability (ICC= 1.00, P <. 001), and were easy to administer without adverse events. The rFTSTS exhibited moderate to large associations (P < .05) with the strongest and weakest limb's hip flexion (strongest: ρ = 0.449; weakest: ρ = 0.474) and extension (strongest: ρ = 0.378; weakest: ρ = 0.362) and the weakest limb's knee flexion (ρ = 0.552) and extension (ρ = 0.427).
