Results showed that TUG and FR tests have significant correlations with fall risk.Ĭonclusion TUG and FR tests have acceptable validity and reliability for the elderly. Background and Aim: The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) have been investigated extensively in literature for the assessment. Also, FR test had acceptable construct validity (Group difference, growth and clinical validity) and time stability (0.97). Results TUG test had acceptable construct validity (Group difference, growth and clinical validity), Cronbach’s alpha was 0.81 and time stability was 0.98. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation, ANOVA, Cronbach’s alpha and t tests. The participants were community-dwelling adults aged 60 years and over in Tehran, Iran. It is s gait-speed test used to assess a persons. Methods & Materials 200 elderly were equally divided into falling or no falling history groups. Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test is a timed test of standing and walking that is a predictor of falls risk. seconds to complete the TUG is at Observe the patient’s postural stability, gait, stride length, and sway. 1 Over the last 30 years, it has been used to assess dynamic balance control in different populations, such as people poststroke and elders who live on their own who are at risk of falling, but also in. Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Functional Reach (FR) tests in evaluating fall risk in the elderly. Time: seconds An older adult who takes 12 high risk for falling. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was originally designed as an assessment tool for functional mobility or dynamic balance in elders who are frail.
