Sit-To-Stand Tests; Tug Tests; A Lancet Ests; A Lkt Ests - Gait up GO Instructions For Use Manual

4.2. Included tests and their indications
4.2.1. Functional tests
Jump tests
Vertical jumps are commonly used to measure lower body power and indirectly assess an athlete's
performance or to evaluate return to sports after an injury (ankle sprain or anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction). Gait Up GO includes two assessments of jumps: Two legged vertical Jump test
(Sargent test) and single leg vertical Hop test. For the jump tests the sensor is worn at the belt and the
test subject is asked to jump vertically with either both legs or one leg at a time. To obtain repeatable
results, the test should be performed in the same way (use of arms).

5 sit-to-stand tests

The five times sit to stand test is used to assess lower extremity strength, translational movements,
balance and risk of fall. It is commonly used for elderly people and patients with Parkinson, having
suffered a stroke or with vestibular disorders. To obtain repeatable results, the same chair should be
used. The Physilog6 sensor is worn at the belt.

TUG tests

The ​ T imed Up and Go test (​ T UG​ ) is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and evaluates both
static and dynamic balance. It is used to determine risk of fall and measure the progress of balance, sit
to stand and walking. The TUG is used frequently in the elderly population or in populations with a
reduced mobility. The Gait Up ​ G O device includes two TUG tests, one standard and one for double-task
TUG. For the TUG tests, the sensor is worn at the belt. ​
T o obtain repeatable results, the same chair
should be used.
4.2.2. Balance tests
The static balance assessment allows to evaluate the risk of falling. It can be used with all end users for
which Gait Up GO is indicated. Gait Up GO includes six different balance tests: two-legged balance test,
single leg balance test, one-legged balance comparison test, tandem test, semi-tandem test and
Romberg test. Balance tests do not require any additional equipment. The Physilog6 sensor is worn at
the belt.
4.2.3. Walk tests
Gait Up GO includes three walking tests, the 2 minute walk test, the 10 meter walk test and a free walk
test. For all three, the sensor is worn on one foot. Gait tests can be performed with all end users for
which Gait Up GO is indicated.
The 2 minute walk test is a measure of self-paced walking ability and endurance. It has been shown to
yield results that are concurrent with the 6 minute walk test and has the advantage of being shorter.
The 10 meter walk test is a performance measure used to assess walking speed which can be used to
assess functional mobility and gait. For the 10 meter walk test requires a path which allows to walk in a
straight line for 10 meters.
