Protocol for the Method Study: Evaluation of the Measurement Properties of an Instrumented and Repeated Timed Up and Go (5iTUG)
In Brief
An observational study for Measurement Properties of 5iTUG and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In order to tailor interventions, objective assessments of physical function is needed. A limitation of several of today's clinical assessments is that they require too much time and/or space. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) is a commonly used clinical test of physical function in older populations. The TUG is particularly useful due to its short administration time and the little space that is required. The TUG is however of limited value when used in higher-functioning older adults due to ceiling effects. Instrumented versions of TUG (iTUG) computes several outcome measures in addition to the traditional outcome measure which is the total duration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the construct- and discriminative validity of outcomes derived from sensor signals recorded with a smartphone during a five times repeated iTUG (5iTUG).
