Objective: To evaluate the validity and reliability of the adaptation of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test to its virtual application in Peruvian elderly people. Materials and methods: This is an observational study of an instrumental type. Adults over 60 years old were surveyed in order to evaluate their physical performance. This variable was measured through the adaptation of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB); where the final result ranged from 0 to 12 points and it was classified by normal, pre-frail, and frail people. The adaptation to the SPPB test was carried out in the indications to adequate them to its virtual application and its content was validated through evaluations by experts. Results: 112 elderly people were recruited but 96 were evaluated, since elderly people without a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis were included, without a medical record of fractures in less than a year, having internet access, and with a caregiver the evaluation day. The adaptation of the SPPB got similar results by both evaluators. Besides, the reliability was determined by using the Cohen’s Kappa coefficient obtaining 0.87 in the balance sub-test, 0.84 in walking speed, and 0.64 in getting up from the chair. The general result of the SPPB reaches a Kappa coefficient of 0.86 and an agreement of 92% was obtained through inter-rater reliability (IRR) with a Confidence Interval (CI) of 0.83-0.92. Conclusion: The adaptation of the Short Physical Performance Battery test is valid and reliable for its virtual application in Peruvian elderly people.
