这项研究对60名老年日间医院(平均年龄79.5岁)的老年日间医院患者进行了“起身和出发”测试(Mathias等人，1986)的改进和计时版本的评估。当病人从扶手椅上站起来，走3米，转身，向后走，然后又坐下来的时候，人们会对他进行观察和计时。结果表明，时间评分(评价者间和评分者内)是可靠的；(2)与Berg平衡量表的对数转换分数(r=-0.81)、步态速度(r=-0.61)和ADL的Barthel指数(r=-0.78)有很好的相关性；(3)似乎可以预测患者单独安全外出的能力。这些数据表明，计时的“UP&GO”测试是量化功能活动度的可靠和有效的测试，这在随时间推移的临床变化中也可能有用。这项测试速度快，不需要特殊设备或培训，很容易作为常规体检的一部分。
This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the "Get-Up and Go" Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital (mean age 79.5 years). The patient is observed and timed while he rises from an arm chair, walks 3 meters, turns, walks back, and sits down again. The results indicate that the time score is (1) reliable (inter-rater and intra-rater); (2) correlates well with log-transformed scores on the Berg Balance Scale (r = -0.81), gait speed (r = -0.61) and Barthel Index of ADL (r = -0.78); and (3) appears to predict the patient's ability to go outside alone safely. These data suggest that the timed "Up & Go" test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time. The test is quick, requires no special equipment or training, and is easily included as part of the routine medical examination.
