The Instrumented Timed Up & Go Test Distinguishes Turning Characteristics in Vestibular Hypofunction

Kyoung Jae Kim et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify walking and turning performance during the instrumented TUG test using IMUs, to distinguish patients with UVD from control groups, and to evaluate the effectiveness of vestibular physical therapy in improving turning performance. The results showed that turning performance in patients with UVD was significantly impaired before rehabilitation, but significantly improved after vestibular physical therapy. The IMU-instrumented TUG test can objectively quantify changes in turning performance after therapy and has the potential to be used in clinical settings.
