Found significant correlation between the TUG and BBS (r = -0.47, p = 0.04) and also TUG combined with FR significantly correlated with BBS: (r = 0.56, p = 0.044)) (Bennie et al 2003: 20 PD, mean age 68(14.5) yrs: Adults in the following settings: neuro rehab, skilled nursing and acute care. Performance-based measures of balance and gait in PD Non-Fallers and FallersĮntries are mean +/- SD or % of subjects within a given group *Only a significant difference between fallers and non-fallers during off medication (Dal Bello-Haas et al, 2011, Parkinson's Disease) (Brusse et al, 2005 n = 25 community-dwelling older adults, 11 female, 14 male, with Parkinson's Disease mean age = 76 (7) years mean H & Y Stage Scale = 2, Parkinson's Disease) (Lemay & Nadeau, 2010 n = 32 AIS D level mean age = 47.9 (12.8) mean time post lesion 77.2 (44.3) days), Acute SCI)Ĭonvergent validity Excellent correlation of TUG with the following measures: Excellent correlation of TUG and 10M however, relationship changes over time.(van Hedel 2008 (n = 6-127), Acute, Subacute, Chronic SCI) TUG should be used with caution in people with poorer walking ability. Strong relationships maintained among TUG, 10MWT, and 6MWT. Overall, improved validity of TUG with WISCI II in individuals who are less impaired, higher walking ability, and do not require assistance. Excellent associations between TUG and BBS ( ρ = -0.70, p


Recommendations based on SCI AIS Classification: Recommendations based on level of care in which the assessment is taken: Recommendations Based on Parkinson Disease Hoehn and Yahr stage: Recommendations for use based on acuity level of the patient: Reasonable to use, but limited study in target group / Unable to Recommend These recommendations were developed by a panel of research and clinical experts using a modified Delphi process.įor detailed information about how recommendations were made, please visit: Recommendations for use of the instrument from the Neurology Section of the American Physical Therapy Association’s Multiple Sclerosis Taskforce (MSEDGE), Parkinson’s Taskforce (PD EDGE), Spinal Cord Injury Taskforce (SCI EDGE), Stroke Taskforce (StrokEDGE), Traumatic Brain Injury Taskforce (TBI EDGE), and Vestibular Taskforce (Vestibular EDGE) are listed below.
