Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | Pediatric physical therapy, 31 (1), p. 22-31 | Abstract: | Purpose: Results on reliability and normative data for the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) in children who are developing typically are systematically reviewed. Summary of Key Points: Six different TUG protocols are presented for which normative data are available for ages 3 to 18 years. TUG time is consistent within and between raters and sessions and is influenced by age. The choice of protocol, self-selected versus fastest walking speed, and use of a motivational aspect and of the outcome calculation affect TUG time as well as its consistency within and between sessions. Conclusions: A standard protocol for the TUG is lacking and should be developed with attention to reliability. Recommendations for Clinical Practice: If the TUG is to be used as a screening tool for dynamic balance control, clinicians need to apply protocols that include fastest walking speed motivation. | Notes: | Verbecque, E (reprint author), Campus Drie Eiken, Univ Pl 1, B-2610 Antwerp, Belgium. evi.verbecque@uantwerpen.be | Keywords: | children who are developing typically;reference values;reliability;“reproducibility of results” [mesh];TUG | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/28004 | ISSN: | 0898-5669 | e-ISSN: | 1538-005X | DOI: | 10.1097/PEP.0000000000000558 | ISI #: | 000457589100009 | Rights: | Copyright 2019 Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy of the American Physical Therapy Association.
