25
T/F: Stat tests are needed to determine content validity.
False, determined by experts in the field.
26
What is prediction validity?
Ability of a test to predict the future outcome of the test
27
T/F: Research data must show a strong statistical prediction to the future outcome for predictive validity.
True
28
What is discrimination power?
Ability of the test to detect changes in performance over time.
29
What is the floor effect?
Test is too difficult for subjects being tested
30
What is the ceiling effect
Test is too east for specific subjects
31
What two parameters are the same when evaluation someone on norm-referenced standards
Gender and age
32
What is the main benefit of interpreting test results by comparing to performance standards?
Provides feedback to participants
33
What are the two performance standards used for comparison?
1. Norm-referenced standards 2. Criterion- referenced standards
34
What ate participants evaluated on for criterion-referenced standards?
Reference points or specific goals
35
What are two field based assessments for OAs?
1. The senior fitness test (SFT) 2. Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB) Scale
36
What are 5 advantages for the SFT?
1. Meets psychometric properties 2. Is convenient and practical (equipment, training space, time) 3. Has norm-referenced standards for interpretability 4. Allows OA to perform test safely without need for medical release. 5. Evaluates a wide range of physical abilities and functions
37
T/F: The SFT is a maximal test
False, submaximal test
38
What is the age group of the 5-year age group norms for the SFT
Age 60-94
39
What are the 7 componants of the SFT?
1. 30s chair stand 2. 30s arm curl 3. 6min walk 4. 2min step 5. Chair sit and reach 6. Back scratch 7. 8 foot up and go
40
What is the purpose and risk zone of the 30s chair stand?
1. To assess lower body strength 2. Less than 8 unassisted stands for men and women
41
What is the purpose and risk zone of the 30s arm curl

1. Aerobic endurance 3. Less than 350yrds or 320m for men and women
43
What is the purpose and risk zone of the 2min step

56
What percent is "normal" in performance norms?
The middle 50% of the population
57
How many people were the norms based on for the SFT
7000 community dwellers (country bois)
58
What is the balance dimension of the lean backwards in the FAB?
Reactive postural control
59
What is the balance dimension of the walking head turn in the FAB?
Sensory organization (visual-vestibular inputs)
60
What is the balance dimension of the standing on foam in the FAB?
Sensory organization (vestibular inputs)
61
What is the balance dimension of the stand with eyes closed in the FAB?
Sensory organization (somato-vestibular inputs)
62
What is the balance dimension of the 360 turn in the FAB?
Sensory organization, dynamic balance
63
What is the balance dimension of the stand on one leg in the FAB?
Static balance (on reduced base of support)
64
What is the balance dimension of the reach forward in the FAB?
Forward limits of stability
65
What is the balance dimension of the step onto bench in the FAB?
Anticipatory postural control, dynamic balance
66
What is the balance dimension of the tandem walk in the FAB?
