Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Accurate assessment of a patient's functional status is crucial for determining the need for treatment and evaluating outcomes. Objective functional impairment (OFI) measures, alongside patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), have been proposed for spine diseases. The Timed-Up and Go (TUG) test, typically administered by healthcare professionals, is a well-studied OFI measure. This study investigates whether patient self-measurement of TUG is similarly reliable.
