OBJECTIVE: The sit-up test is used to assess orthostatic hypotension in stroke survivors who cannot stand independently without using a tilt table. However, no study has identified the optimal cut-points for orthostatic hypotension using the test. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the decrease in SBP and DBP during the sit-up test to detect orthostatic hypotension in individuals with stroke. METHODS: Thirty-eight individuals with stroke, recruited from three convalescent rehabilitation hospitals, underwent the sit-up and head-up tilt tests. Systolic and diastolic orthostatic hypotension was defined as a decrease of at least 20 and 10 mmHg in the SBP and DBP, respectively, during the head-up tilt test. The receiver operator characteristic curve with the Youden Index was used to identify the optimal cut-points. RESULTS: Eight and three participants showed systolic and diastolic orthostatic hypotension, respectively. The optimal cut-points for orthostatic hypotension using the sit-up test were a decrease of 10 mmHg in SBP [sensitivity = 87.5% (95% confidence interval: 47.4-99.7), specificity = 96.7% (82.8-99.9)] and 5 mmHg in DBP [sensitivity = 100.0% (29.2-100.0), specificity = 88.6% (73.3-96.8)]. CONCLUSION: Compared with the conventional cut-points, smaller cut-points of a decrease in SBP and DBP may be better to identify orthostatic hypotension in individuals with stroke using the sit-up test. The findings of this study may provide valuable information for the clinical application of the sit-up test.
