Key result
Preoperative 5-Chair Stand test performance independently predicted 12-month disability, with each additional 10 seconds needed to complete the test associated with a 6-point increase in ODI (P=0.047).
Why the study?
Patient-reported outcome measures commonly assess clinical improvement after lumbar spine surgery, but evidence suggests supplementing them with physical performance tests is needed to accurately evaluate long-term outcomes.

Does preoperative physical performance predict patient-reported disability and pain at 12 months after lumbar spine surgery?
Effect estimate: 6-point increase in ODI per 10s increase in 5-Chair Stand
p-value: p=0.047
Preoperative physical performance tests, specifically the 5-Chair Stand test, independently predict patient-reported disability and back pain 12 months after lumbar spine surgery.
Master et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Degenerative lumbar spine conditions (n=248). Preoperative physical performance (5-Chair Stand test) was evaluated on Patient-reported disability (Oswestry Disability Index) and back pain at 12 months (6-point increase in ODI per 10s increase in 5-Chair Stand, p=0.047). Preoperative 5-Chair Stand test performance independently predicted 12-month disability, with each additional 10 seconds needed to complete the test associated with a 6-point increase in ODI (P=0.047).
