Evaluation of the Concordance of Five Times Sit To Stand Results Between a Physical Consultation and a Teleconsultation

The subject enters a room where the therapist is present. A chair is placed against a wall in the same room. Once again, the therapist suggests repeating the test. During the test, the therapist sits opposite the patient, at the same distance as the computer used during the teleconsultation.

Prior to the test, the investigator should carry out a "mock" test with a volunteer from the facility, for example, to ensure wifi, sound and image functionality. The patient enters a room where a computer equipped with a webcam is set up on a desk. The teleconsultation has already started when the patient enters the room. No recordings are made. A chair is placed at a distance from the desk, with the backrest against a wall. The chair faces the computer. The desk or table where the computer is located is about 3 meters from the participant, ensuring that the webcam can frame the patient's entire body during the test. With the consultation already underway, the investigator can direct the patient to sit in the chair against the wall. The investigator will make sure that the patient hears the instructions given. Once the patient is seated on the chair, the therapist explains the test procedure and shows it once to make sure the subject understands it.
