Usefulness of the instrumented timed up and go test for walking assessment in older adults.

Researchers evaluated the instrumented Timed Up and Go (iTUG) test as a tool for assessing walking ability in older adults, examining its utility beyond the standard TUG measure. The iTUG adds sensor-based kinematic data to the traditional test, potentially providing clinicians with richer information about gait and mobility deficits in aging populations. Physical therapists working with older adults may find the iTUG a valuable supplement to routine functional mobility screening.
