Notes

The NIH Toolbox 4-Meter Walk Gait Speed Test is adapted from the 4-meter walk test in the Short Physical Performance Battery. Participants are asked to walk a short distance (four meters) at their usual pace. Participants complete one practice and then two timed trials. Raw scores are recorded as the time in seconds required to walk four meters on each of the two trials, with the better trial used for scoring. The test takes approximately three minutes to administer (including instructions and practice). This test is recommended for ages 7-85.

Guidelines/Instructions

Trial 1: Say: This time, I am going to time you as you walk at your usual speed. Are you ready? 3, 2, 1, Go! Begin timing (press start/stop button) when the participant steps over (first footfall) the starting line. Walk behind and to the side of the participant as he/she walks. Stop timing when one of the participantÃ½s feet is completely across the end/finish line (the line at 4.0 meters Ã½ not the line at 5.0 meters). If the participant stumbles or tries to run, void that trial and ask the participant to do another trial. Record the data on the record form and later transfer to the computer data entry forms.

Preferred Question Text

Practice Trial: Show the walking course; say: This activity involves walking from one place to another. This is our walking course (point to the course). I want you to walk to the other end of the course at your usual speed, just as if you were walking down the street to go to the store. The examiner explains the walk: Let me show you what I want you to do. Put both your feet together behind this line. Walk all the way past the cone on the other end before you stop. Before demonstration, say: 3, 2, 1, Go! After examiner returns, have participant stand with both feet touching the start line and say: When I want you to start, I will say: 3, 2, 1, go. Do you have any questions? Say: Now you try. Remember to walk at your usual speed and keep walking until you pass the cone. Ready? 3, 2, 1, Go! When participant passes the cone, say: That�s good. Do you have any questions? (Answer any questions.)
