Abstract
Interobserver reliability was good for quadriceps and handgrip dynamometry and for the SPPB summary score and its chair stand and gait speed subscales. Both pulmonary physicians and physical therapists can obtain and exchange the scores. Because the reliability of the balance subscale was questionable, it is better to use the SPPB summary score.
