The reliability and validity of the Lie‑To‑Sit‑To‑Stand‑To‑Walk transfer test in total knee arthroplasty.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the standard procedure for treating end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, some residual issues can persist, leading to various problems, including pain, compromised strength, impaired proprioception, postural instability, dynamic balance issues, and gait deficiencies. The Lie-to-Sit-to-Stand-to-Walk Transfer Test (LSSWT) implements a multi-faceted methodology to evaluate basic transfer abilities. The purpose of this study is to investigate the validity, reliability, and minimal clinically important difference of the LSSWT in TKA patients.
methodsTwenty-two patients with TKA were enrolled in this study. The patients were administered the LSSWT, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), and the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score. Patients rested between the tests for an hour to prevent fatigue.
resultsThe mean age was 68.1 ± 2.59 years and the mean HSS Knee Score was 85.43 ± 3.47 of the patients. The relative (ICC coefficient) and absolute (SEM and SRD95) reliability values were 0.88, 1.21, and 3.33 respectively. The Spearman correlation coefficient of the LSSWT with the TUG was 0.63.
conclusionsThe LSSWT displays excellent reliability and high validity in assessing fall risk, complex dynamic balance, and mobility required for daily activities in patients post-TKA. The low MCID value (3.33) indicates its sensitivity and ability to identify minor changes in a patient's status over time or in response to rehabilitation applications. Therefore, it is recommended to use the LSSWT when evaluating fall risk, dynamic balance, and mobility for community living, discharge planning, or facility admission.
