- Abstract: Objective：To evaluate the relationship among repetitive standing tests in a dining room seat, daily walking, balance function, and walking endurance in geriatric health service facility residents.Methods： Eighty-six geriatric health service facility residents. Participants were categorised into wheelchair, assistance, modified independence, and independent groups based on walking in the functional independence measure. The repetitive standing test in a dining room seat was compared. Cut-off values were determined based on differences between consecutive groups. Correlations among the repetitive standing test on a dining room seat, Berg balance scale score, and 6-minute walk distance were determined.Results：The repetitive standing test on a dining room seat was higher in the assistance group than in the wheelchair group and higher in the modified independence group than in the assistance group, with cut-off values of 5 and 20 times, respectively. The repetitive standing test on a dining room seat was positively correlated with the Berg balance scale and 6-minute walk distance.Conclusion：The repetitive standing test on a dining room seat was correlated with balance function and walking endurance. Five and twenty repetitions of the standing test on a dining room seat were needed for assisted and modified independent walking, respectively.
