TUG Score
12 seconds
Fall Risk
2 (1=Low, 2=Moderate, 3=High)
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter TUG Time, Patient Age, and Assistive Device.
- Review TUG Score (seconds) and Fall Risk ((1=Low, 2=Moderate, 3=High)).
- Use Independence Level ((1=Independent, 2=Mostly, 3=Supervision, 4=Dependent)) and Age-Adjusted Risk ((1=Low, 2=Moderate, 3=High)) to inform your decision.
How the result changes with TUG Time
| TUG Time | TUG Score | Fall Risk |
|---|---|---|
| 13 | 13 seconds | 2 (1=Low, 2=Moderate, 3=High) |
| 43 | 43 seconds | 3 (1=Low, 2=Moderate, 3=High) |
| 78 | 78 seconds | 3 (1=Low, 2=Moderate, 3=High) |
| 108 | 108 seconds | 3 (1=Low, 2=Moderate, 3=High) |
What each input means
- TUG Time
- Time in seconds to stand from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn, walk back, and sit down.
- Patient Age
- Age of the patient in years for age-adjusted normative comparison.
- Assistive Device
- 0 = None, 1 = Cane, 2 = Walker.
