Exploration of Timed Up and Go scores with and without a Cognitive Challenge in People with MS and a Healthy Reference Group

Laura Comber, BSc, MISCP PhD Candidate Department of Clinical Therapies University of Limerick

Objectives

  • Provide sample TUG and TUG‐C data for pwMS and a

healthy reference group

  • Examine within group differences in these

populations for these measures

  • Examine differences between these populations in

these measures

  • Examine differences between people with MS who

fall and those who do not in these measures

  • Present preliminary results of instrumented TUG and

TUG‐C data from a healthy reference group

Falls in People with MS

  • 56% in a 3 month period (Nilsagård et al 2014)
  • Effect on the individual

– Injurious Falls (Peterson et al 2008) – Fear of Falling (Peterson et al 2007) – Activity Curtailment (Peterson et al 2007)

  • Balance impairment and falls

– Pooled OR 1.07 (95%CI 1.04‐1.10) (Gunn et al 2013)

  • Gait, Turning, Postural Transitions

– Gunn et al 2014 – Matsuda et al 2012 – Nilsagård et al 2009

Why Choose the TUG?

  • Timed Up and Go

– Objective/Quick to administer – Elicits dynamic activity – MS Evaluation Database to Guide Effectiveness – IMSFPRN (Cattaneo et al 2014)

  • Timed Up and Go‐Cognitive

– PwMS dual tasking difficulties (Sosnoff et al 2011) – Dual task cost

  • Predictive Validity?

Summary

  • Significant Differences in TUG and TUGC exist

between healthy populations and pwMS

  • Limited sample sizes suggest significant differences

exist between fallers and non‐fallers when prospective falls diaries are used

– Research ongoing

  • Instrumented TUG/TUGC data may be useful in

identifying pwMS at risk of falls

– Research ongoing

Prospective Falls Monitoring

  • Retrospective Vs Prospective
  • Falls Diaries IMSFPRN (Coote et al 2014)

– 3 Months

  • Small sample size (n=27)
  • Ongoing study
  • ROC and AUC analysis
