Timed Up and Go test

And that environmental approach applies to functional problems, too, particularly falls.

The primary assessment tool they mention here is the TIU test or the Timed Up and Go test.

Yes.

The TUG test is essential.

So we felt like the changing direction and stepping over obstacles with the four square step test was a higher level, and we perhaps wouldn't have as much of a ceiling effect as we see with some of the other balance tests that we have out there.

And then finally, the timed up and go, which we have done the usual timed up and go, and then a cognitive task timed up and go.

So it's a little bit repetitious to do a timed up and go and also do a walking speed, but we wanted something with dual task.

We have to see how our studies work out.

It may be that we don't have to do some of these tests and we can cut it down even more.
