Testing was performed by trained physiotherapists and nurses using the original protocol.7 During testing, the participant was seated in a chair that was 43 cm high with armrests and asked to stand up from the chair at the command “Go” (using the chair’s armrests if they preferred), walk 3 meters at their regular pace, turn, walk back again, and sit down. The participant’s TUG score in seconds was timed with a stopwatch from the command “Go” to when the participant was seated again. A high TUG score indicates poorer physical performance.
