abstract = {The instrumented-Timed-Up-and-Go test (iTUG) provides
detailed information about the following movement patterns:
sit-to-walk (siwa), straight walking, turning and
walk-to-sit (wasi). We were interested in the relative
contributions of respective iTUG sub-phases to specific
clinical deficits most relevant for daily life in
Parkinson’s disease (PD). More specifically, we
investigated which condition–fast speed (FS) or convenient
speed (CS)–differentiates best between mild- to
moderate-stage PD patients and controls, which parameters of
the iTUG sub-phases are significantly different between PD
patients and controls, and how the iTUG parameters associate
with cognitive parameters (with particular focus on
cognitive flexibility and working memory) and
Health-Related-Quality of Life (HRQoL).MethodsTwenty-eight
PD participants (65.1±7.1 years, $H\&Y$ stage 1–3,
medication OFF state) and 20 controls (66.1±7.5 years)
performed an iTUG (DynaPort®, McRoberts BV, The
Netherlands) under CS and FS conditions. The PD
Questionnaire 39 (PDQ-39) was employed to assess HRQoL.
General cognitive and executive functions were assessed
using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the Trail Making
Test.ResultsThe total iTUG duration and sub-phases durations
under FS condition differentiated PD patients slightly
better from controls, compared to the CS condition. The
following sub-phases were responsible for the observed
longer total duration PD patients needed to perform the
iTUG: siwa, turn and wasi. None of the iTUG parameters
correlated relevantly with general cognitive function.
Turning duration and wasi maximum flexion velocity
correlated strongest with executive function. Walking back
duration correlated strongest with HRQoL.DiscussionThis
study confirms that mild- to moderate-stage PD patients need
more time to perform the iTUG than controls, and adds the
following aspects to current literature: FS may be more
powerful than CS to delineate subtle movement deficits in
mild- to moderate-stage PD patients; correlation levels of
intra-individual siwa and wasi parameters may be interesting
surrogate markers for the level of automaticity of performed
movements; and sub-phases and kinematic parameters of the
iTUG may have the potential to reflect executive functioning
and HRQoL aspects of PD patients.},
