Abstract
The 30 second chair stand test has been widely used to measure functional mobility for the individuals above 18 years of age. Several studies have used this test as an outcome measure in patients with osteoarthritis of knee. However, to our knowledge, no norms are available in the literature for the middle age population (40 to 60 years). The aim of our study was to find normative data of 30 second chair stand test on apparently healthy individuals age 40-60 years. The objectives were to record the number of repetitions an individual can perform within selected age groups using 30 second chair stand test and to establish normative data in the selected age group, to compare differences noted between the male and female gender along with different subset of our study group. A cross sectional study was conducted in Occupational Therapy school and training center with due approval from Institutional Ethics Committee. Informed consent was taken from 159 participants in this study, both males and females, ambulatory without use of assistive device, between 40-60 years age group. 30 second chair stand test was performed as per standard administration procedure. The number of repetitions ranged from 12.467 to 13.289 for males and from 12.406 to 12.833 in females with mean of 13.072 ± 2.14 and 12.53 ± 1.82 for the 40-60 age group respectively. However, difference in male and female performance was non-significant. This study helped in arriving mean values for 30 second chair stand test in Indian population.

Key words: 30 second chair stand test, Functional mobility, Healthy individuals, Indian norms, Performance
