“…Overall, those with TPPM >2.2°consistently demonstrated poor balance, mobility, and physical function. In older persons, the single-leg stance time has been consistently shown to be associated with negative health events (Vellas et al 1997;Jonsson et al 2004;Lin et al 2004). Further, the deterioration of balance in single-leg stance in young individuals with ankle sprain is proposed to be associated with ankle instability due to proprioceptive impairment (Akbari et al 2006).…”

Ankle proprioceptive information is integrated by the central nervous system to generate and modulate muscle contractions for maintaining standing balance. This study evaluated the association of ankle joint proprioception with objective and self-report measures of balance, mobility, and physical function across the adult life span. Seven hundred and ninety participants (age range 24-97 years, 362 women) who completed ankle proprioception assessment between 2010 and 2014 were included in the present study from the population-based cohort of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA), USA. Outcome measures included ankle joint proprioception measured as threshold for perception of passive movement (TPPM); single leg stance time; perceived difficulty for standing balance; usual, fastest, and narrow-path gait speed; walking index; short physical performance battery score; and self-reported activity restriction due to fear of falling. Descriptive variables included age, sex, body mass index, education, strength, and cognition. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) in general linear model (GLM) or multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed, as appropriate, to test the hypothesis that balance, mobility, and physical function were significantly different according to TPPM quintiles even after adjusting for relevant covariates. Those with TPPM >2.2°consistently demonstrated poor balance, mobility, and physical function. However, with increase in challenge (single leg stance, fastest walking speed, and SPPB), TPPM >1.4°was associated with significantly worse performance. In conclusion, ankle proprioceptive acuity has an overall graded relationship with objective and self-report measures of balance, mobility, and physical function. However, the cutoff proprioceptive acuity associated with substantial decline or inability to perform could depend on the challenge induced.

“…The TUG test used in the present study possesses all advantages which is contained in MSW test as described previously [5], such as proven correlation with balance function [13][14][15], being a quantitative assessment, good reproducibility [12][13][14]16], short measurement time, and low cost. Furthermore, this test possesses proven differences between fall and non-fall groups [7,[14][15][16], high sensitivity and specificity [14][15][16], applicability to the elderly [7,[12][13][14][15][16], and no requirement for wide space. In addition, This test requires rapid acceleration and deceleration, a turn during high-speed walking, and rapid sitting down with a turn, and, therefore, seems to be more suitable for assessing comprehensive motor function more closely associated with balance function than the MSW test.…”

Purpose. Assessing the recovery of dynamic balance after intravenous sedation in the elderly is important for ensuring safe discharge, especially by walking. A reliable, simple dynamic balance test would be useful in daily clinical practice. We observed the recovery of balance after intravenous sedation with midazolam using computerized dynamic posturography (CDP) and evaluated the correlation between the CDP and simple dynamic balance tests.Methods. midazolam was administered in divided dose until the Wilson sedation score reached 3 in 18 elderly male volunteers. A dynamic balance test using CDP with perturbation stimuli was performed before and after sedation. As simple dynamic balance tests, the usual-speed walking (USW) and maximum-speed walking (MSW) tests and the modified timed "Up & Go" (TUG) test (subjects stand up from a chair, walk 5 m forward and back with MSW, and sit down again) were performed.Results. The recovery times, defined as the time until the significant difference between the value at each time point and the baseline value disappeared, in the dynamic balance test, USW test, MSW test, and TUG test, were 80, 40, 80, 80 minutes, respectively. There was a significant and strong positive correlation between the result of the dynamic balance test in CDP and the TUG test (p < 0.01, r=0.70).Conclusion. The TUG test is a useful simple dynamic balance/motor test that can be used in daily clinical practice in the elderly.

“…The test was performed three times with eyes open and closed and with both legs, taking into account the mean value of the measures for each condition (eyes open or closed). This procedure has high inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.93) 32 . Dynamic balance was evaluated by Maximum Gait Velocity (MGV) 33,34 .…”

Psychometric Comparisons of the Timed Up and Go, One‐Leg Stand, Functional Reach, and Tinetti Balance Measures in Community‐Dwelling Older People

Abstract: According to psychometric properties, the most suitable performance measure for evaluating balance in community-dwelling older people was the TB, followed by the TUG.
