Timed Up and Go Assessment
The timed up and go test times chair rise, short walk, turn, and return—a practical fall-risk screen combining strength and balance.
The timed up and go assessment measures seconds to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn, return, and sit—combining strength, balance, and mobility in one screen. Times roughly twelve seconds or slower in many guidelines suggest elevated fall risk and need for targeted training.
Practice on non-slip flooring with footwear you actually wear daily.
