Can the timed up and go define severity of fall risk?Herbert, JPhelan, E
Timed up-and-go (TUG).For this test, you’ll be asked to stand up from a chair that has armrests (if you typically use a cane or walker, you’ll be able to use it for the test), walk about 10 feet, and then turn and return to the chair to sit down. If it ta...
fall riskclassificationsensorsAim: To determine if an instrumented Timed Up and Go (iTUG) can accurately classify older adult recurrent fallers and non-fallers who are age and sex-matched. Methods: iTUG data from older adult recurrent fallers ( n = 25) and age and sex-matched non-...

We examined falling risk among elderly using a wearable inertial sensor, which combines accelerometer and gyrosensors devices, applied during the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Subjects were categorised into two groups as low fall risk and high fall risk with 13.5 s duration taken to complete the...
There are several clinical tools that accurately assess functional parameters associated with standing balance and predict fall risk in individuals after stroke. Relevant clinical tools include Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) and force ...
the critical value of timed "up and go" test (TUGT) and analyze the risk factors of fall in Chongqing elderly.</sec><sec>MethodsA total of 1 200 elderly people were subjected by stratified random sampling from 3 hospitals, 3 communities and 3 nursing homes in Chongqing. Their demographic ...
AIM: To investigate the associations between fall history and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test (single-TUG test), TUG test while counting aloud backwards from 100 (dual-TUG test) and the dual-task cost (DTC) among independent community-dwelling older adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional stud...
Moreover, fear of falls is an independent risk factor for falls among older adults [6]. As the population is aging and the burden of falls is expected to increase, establishing effective fall prevention strategies is an urgent task in the healthcare system. Fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs)...
Methods In a prospective cohort study of 137 geriatric outpatients (age 77.7 ± 5.7 years), FRIDs were withdrawn in all fallers, if possible, between April 2003 and November 2004. All patients underwent mobility testing at baseline, including a 10m walking test (WT), Timed 'Up & Go' Test...
