LOINC description : This panel contains results for the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and physical findings
of gait based on the CDC STEADI assessment.[CDC:steadi/pdf/TUG_Test-print.pdf] The
TUG test is a commonly used screening tool to quantify a person's functional mobility
and identify those at risk of falling due to balance or gait problems. Individuals
are asked to rise from a straight-backed chair without using their arms, walk 10 feet
(or three meters), turn around, return to their chair and sit down. The patient is
observed and timed during the event. Adults without balance problems can typically
perform this test in under 10 seconds whereas adults with mobility difficulty or activities
of daily living (ADL) dependence require more than 30 seconds.[PMID: 1991946] Another
study suggests 12 seconds as a cut-off value for the TUG to indicate normal versus
below normal performance.[PMID: 12720619][CDC:STEADI];
