Definition

  • The "8-Foot Up and Go" (8UG) test measures dynamic balance and agility and is the time elapsed from a patient standing up from a chair, walking 8 feet to and around a cone (or other marker), walking back to the chair, and sitting down again in the shortest time possible.[https://doi.org/10.1123/japa.7.2.129] The 8UG, is a modified version of the "Timed Up-and-Go" (TUG) [LOINC: 89423-8], which is a modified version of the "Get-Up and Go" (GUG). TUG and 8UG are timed whereas GUG is scored on an ordinal 5 point scale. [PMID: 1991946]
