Dr. Wendie Trubow describes two tests that predict fracture risk. Stand on one leg for 10 seconds, which links to fewer falls and lower mortality. Then count how many times you can sit and stand from a chair without using your arms, typically around 15 repetitions.
One of them that I like is the one-legged stand test for 10 seconds. If somebody could stand on one leg for 10 seconds and then switch and do it the other legs, their risk for all-cause mortality and for falls and fractures is significantly decreased. Eyes open or closed, does it matter? I don't recall. I think that it is harder if it's— you do it with your eyes closed, but I don't know that it's required. Then there's a sit-to-stand test. At a chair of a specific height without using the armrest to put your, you know, stand up or down. You sit down and you see how long it takes you to stand up and sit down. I believe it's 15 times.
