Five-Times Sit-to-Stand Test
Five-times sit-to-stand test (Csuka M, McCarty DJ. Am J Med 1985): the time in seconds to complete five sit-to-stand cycles with arms folded; >= 12 s indicates increased fall risk and >= 15 s recurrent-faller risk.

Example
- Time for five sit-to-stand cycles
- 14 seconds
Result: Five-times sit-to-stand 14 s — increased fall risk (>= 12 s).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- < 12 s
- Below the fall-risk cutoff.
- >= 12 s
- Increased fall risk.
- >= 15 s
- Recurrent-faller risk (five cycles, arms folded; age-specific norms apply). A performance measure, not a diagnosis.
What you enter
- Time for five sit-to-stand cycles
