Cognitive Correlates of a Large Time Differential between Timed Up and Go and Gait Speed during In-Patient Stroke Rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent after stroke but can be difficult to identify acutely. We aimed to study if a large difference between two common, routine physical therapy assessments (timed up-and-go [TUG] test and 10-metre walk test [10MWT]) could identify patients with subtle cognitive difficulties post-stroke. Method: An observational study was conducted in 141 individuals admitted to acute in-patient rehabilitation after stroke. We computed the per cent difference between TUG and 10MWT performance. Cognitive outcome measures were the trail making tests A and B (TMT-A and TMT-B) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM)-cognition subscale. Linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate if the difference between TUG a
