AD-RISK FACTORS AND TIMED UP AND GO TASKS IN IMPAIRED AND UNIMPAIRED OLDER ADULTS

Abstract

The Timed Up and Go (TUG) is a clinical assessment tool evaluating mobility and dual-task function. This study examined TUG performance in a sample of cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults at low risk (LR)/high risk (HR) for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and a group of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients.
