Remote versus in-person 30-second sit-to-stand testing for people with peripheral artery disease
Official title: Consistency Between Tele-Assessment and Face-to-Face Assessment Results of the 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease
Run by Izmir Democracy University · NCT07497360 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test whether doing the 30-second sit-to-stand test by video works as well as doing it in person for adults aged 18–65 with Fontaine stage I–II peripheral artery disease who have a smartphone.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–65 with PAD Fontaine stage I–II confirmed by imaging who can stand, cooperate, and have a smartphone with internet access.
✕Probably not a fit
People with advanced PAD (Fontaine III–IV), recent major surgery or myocardial infarction, severe cardiopulmonary disease, amputations, use of walking aids, or without smartphone/internet are unlikely to benefit from the tele-assessment approach evaluated here.

What this trial studies
This observational study compares telemedicine and face-to-face administration of the 30-second sit-to-stand test in adults with peripheral artery disease (Fontaine I–II). Participants who meet inclusion criteria perform the standardized 30-second sit-to-stand test both remotely via smartphone video and in person at the Izmir clinic, and results are compared for agreement, reliability, and feasibility. The protocol excludes individuals with conditions that limit standing or walking, recent major cardiac events, or inability to use a smartphone. Findings will inform whether remote functional testing can be used to monitor strength and mobility and guide rehabilitation without requiring clinic visits.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If remote testing matches in-person results, patients could be monitored and guided for rehabilitation at home, reducing travel and improving access to care.
How similar studies have gone: Telemedicine delivery of functional tests, including sit-to-stand, has shown reasonable reliability in older adults and other chronic conditions, but evidence specifically in PAD is limited.
