The 30-Second Roll to Quadruped Test: Linking Muscle Strength and Endurance with Rolling.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Quantitative tests are common for documenting transfers and gait status. While qualitative rolling tests have been attempted, a quantitative measurement for rolling does not currently exist.The purpose of this study was to determine if the 30-second Roll to Quadruped test (30RQ) can serve as a measurement of rolling ability and to explore relationships between participants' rolling abilities, rolling strategies, strength, endurance, age, sex, activity levels, and BMI.

Study design

Cross-Sectional Study.

Methods

Eighteen healthy adults (n=18, age range: 20-40 years) without musculoskeletal impairments were recruited for participation in this study. Muscle strength of select muscles of the shoulder, hip, elbow, and knee was assessed using hand-hel
