This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the "Get-Up and Go" Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital (mean age 79.5 years). The patient is observed and timed while he rises from an arm chair, walks 3 meters, turns, walks back, and ...
Biomechanics Effect of secondary motor and cognitive tasks on timed up and go test in older adults THE UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO Charles Armstrong MukherjeeAnuradhaBackground: Changes in gait due to simultaneous performance of an attention-demanding dual task, such as walking while talking on the phone,...
Extended Timed Get Up & Go (ETGUG) test was used to assess the duration of sit to stand, gait initiation, walking, turn around, sitting down, and speed of the walk. Independent t' test was used to compare the components of both the groups. Results: The findings showed that there were...
4.1.4Timed get up and go In the TUG test patient stands up from a position like sitting, then asked to walk on a short defined distance, make a turn and go back to the chair and then move back to the sitting position. It is a timed test that requires patients to stand up from a...

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to, using the inertial sensor found in the iPhone4, locate in the ten meter Extended Timed Get Up and Go test the series of kinematic variables deriving from accelerometry and from angular velocity and displacement which show the greatest level of precision ...
The present study aimed to evaluate the reliability and concurrent criterion-related validity of the accelerations with an iPhone 4® in an Extended Timed Get Up and Go test. Extended Timed Get Up and Go is a clinical test with that the patient get up from the chair and walking ten ...
Background: We investigated association of a score incorporating relative grip strength (RGS) and timed up and go (TUG) test with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in older Chinese. Methods: Both RGS and TUG scores were classified into t
The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Ten-metre Timed Walk Test (10 mTWT) are two short-distance walking tests that have demonstrated reliability in pregnant women with PGP, but as yet have no established validity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the convergent validity of the...
Results One-minute stair climbing, 50-ft walk and timed up-and-go displayed adequate responsiveness (≥ 80% of hypotheses confirmed), while 5-min walk did not (40% of hypotheses confirmed). The absolute MICs for improvement were 45.5 m for 5-min walk, 20.0 steps for 1-min stair cli...
