To collect normative data for the Timed Up and Go (TUG) on a large, diverse sample of urban school children who are typically developing, accounting for age, sex, and body mass index.
Physical therapists administered the TUG with natural walking speeds on 1481 children (M = 635, F = 846), ages 5 to 13 years representing 29.60% whites, 24.2% Asian/Pacific Islanders, 19.7% Latino/Hispanics, 16.3% African Americans, 1.40% Native American/Alaskans, and 8.80% other.
Average TUG speeds ranged from 6.20 to 7.12 seconds across all ages, with speeds decreasing from 5 to 9 years and increasing from 9 to 13 years. Differences between 8-, 9-, and 11-year-old males and females and across age groups did not exceed a clinically important threshold. Body mass index was not consistently correlated with TUG speed.
This study provides reference data on the TUG. These data should complement clinical observations and additional tests and measures to determine whether a student is functioning slower than age-matched peers.
在大量不同的城市学龄儿童样本中收集计时起立行走测试（TUG）的标准数据，这些儿童发育正常，同时考虑年龄、性别和体重指数。
物理治疗师让1481名5至13岁的儿童以自然行走速度进行TUG测试，其中男性635名，女性846名，包括29.60%的白人、24.2%的亚太岛民、19.7%的拉丁裔/西班牙裔、16.3%的非裔美国人、1.40%的美洲原住民/阿拉斯加人以及8.80%的其他种族。
所有年龄段的TUG平均速度在6.20至7.12秒之间，速度从5岁到9岁下降，从9岁到13岁上升。8岁、9岁和11岁的男性与女性之间以及不同年龄组之间的差异未超过临床重要阈值。体重指数与TUG速度没有持续相关性。
本研究提供了TUG的参考数据。这些数据应补充临床观察以及其他测试和测量，以确定学生的功能是否比年龄匹配的同龄人慢。
