Conventional video-based system for measuring the subtask speed of the Timed Up and Go Test in older adults: Validity and reliability study.

ABSTRACT: The Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) is a simple fall risk screening test that covers basic functional movement; thus, quantifying the subtask movement ability may provide a clinical utility. The video-based system allows individual's movement characteristics assessment. This study aimed to investigate the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the video-based system for assessing the movement speed of TUG subtasks among older adults. Twenty older adults participated in the validity study, whilst ten older adults participated in the reliability study. Participant's movement speed in each subtask of the TUG under comfortable and fast speed conditions over two sessions was measured. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to identify the validity of the video-based system compared to
