Timed Up & Go as a measure for longitudinal change in mobility after stroke ¿ Postural Stroke Study in Gothenburg (POSTGOT)

Conclusion: The Timed Up & Go demonstrates ability to detect change in mobility over time in patients with stroke. A significant improvement in TUG time from the 1st week to 3 months after stroke was found, as expected, but thereafter no statistically significant change was detected. After 3 months, patients >=80 years tended to deteriorate in terms of TUG time, while the younger patients did not.
