The 30-Second Roll to Quadruped Test: Linking Muscle Strength and Endurance with Rolling.

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
background and purposeQuantitative tests are common for documenting transfers and gait status. While qualitative rolling tests have been attempted, a quantitative measurement for rolling does not currently exist.The purpose of this study was to determine if the 30-second Roll to Quadruped test (30RQ) can serve as a measurement of rolling ability and to explore relationships between participants' rolling abilities, rolling strategies, strength, endurance, age, sex, activity levels, and BMI. STUDY
designCross-Sectional Study.
methodsEighteen healthy adults (n=18, age range: 20-40 years) without musculoskeletal impairments were recruited for participation in this study. Muscle strength of select muscles of the shoulder, hip, elbow, and knee was assessed using hand-held dynamometry. Core endurance and lower extremity endurance were measured using a maximum duration plank test and the 30-Second Chair Stand test, respectively. The 30RQ test involved participants performing repeated supine-to-quadruped rolls for 30 seconds, with the number of successful rolls recorded. Video recordings were used to capture rolling strategies for qualitative and to record numbers for quantitative analysis and were reviewed by three physical therapists. Correlational analyses were also used to examine the relationships between 30RQ performance, subject characteristics, and all other outcomes.
resultsThe 30RQ test performance showed several significant correlations (
conclusionThese findings suggest that the 30RQ test may serve as a useful assessment tool for evaluating rolling ability and that increased rolling ability correlates with increased upper and lower extremity strength, lower extremity endurance, male sex, and use of the pivot rolling strategy. Further studies with larger populations are needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 3.
