Timed Up And Go Screen
Compare a Timed Up and Go result with an explicitly supplied threshold.
Description
Timed Up and Go screening compares an already measured completion time with a supplied maximum.
Timed Up and Go screening compares an already measured completion time with a supplied maximum. Positive margin represents time remaining below the target.1
Compare a Timed Up and Go result with an explicitly supplied threshold.
When to use Timed Up And Go Screen
Use this tool to compare a Timed Up and Go result with an explicitly supplied threshold.
Prepare the measured movement, timing, load or preassigned score requested. Keep protocols, units, paired measurements and caller-selected thresholds consistent.
How to use Timed Up And Go Screen and understand its results
- Prepare the measured movement, timing, load or preassigned score requested. Keep protocols, units, paired measurements and caller-selected thresholds consistent.
- Enter elapsedSeconds, maximumSeconds using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read marginSeconds, withinTarget. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| elapsedSeconds | Elapsed seconds | number | Required |
| maximumSeconds | Maximum seconds | number | Required |
Enter positive result and maximum seconds. Return signed margin and inclusive flag.
margin=maximum−elapsed; passes=elapsed≤maximum Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| marginSeconds | Margin seconds | number |
| withinTarget | Within target | boolean |

},

"withinTarget": true

}Limitations and assumptions
No test administration, population cutoff, fall-risk estimate or diagnosis is supplied.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors. A successfully returned false flag is an evaluated outcome; its meaning is explained above.
