Timed Up and Go test is predictive of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System physical function in patients awaiting total knee arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) physical function rapidly assesses self-reported function capability. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is often used in clinical practice, but administration may be impeded by space and patient limitations. PROMIS CAT can potentially address these limitations, but we lack evidence if TUG and health indicators are predictors of PROMIS CAT. This study assessed whether TUG, body mass index (BMI), numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), and smoking status were predictors of PROMIS CAT in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) candidates.

Methods

Sixty-five TKA candidates completed the PROMIS CAT physical function test using an iPad application. TUG, NPRS, BMI, and smoking status were
