DISCOUNT CORNERPERFORM TUG TEST IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES
Ready, steady, go! It only takes a few second to perform a TUG test with QTUG. Data are analyzed in real-time and results provided immedidately.
SOPHISTICATED ON THE INSIDE
QTUG is very simple to use and uses sophisticated evidence-based analytics. The patented wearable sensor algorithm behind the QTUG technology provides immediate results, based on nine years of peer reviewed research. The technology has been extensively clinically validated through publication in top-tier international scientific journals.
At Glance
Kinesis QTUG is an objective tool for identifying older adults at risk of falling. QTUG (Quantitative Timed Up and Go) is based on the Timed Up and Go test and is instrumented with wireless sensors placed on each leg. This technology provides a method for objective assessment of mobility, frailty and falls risk. It provides automatic analysis of patient data against average values for patients’ age and gender with colour coding to indicate deviations from normality.
ÂÂ
QTUG is intended to assist those assessing falls risk, by providing a falls risk score (known as the Falls Risk Estimate (FRE)) and a frailty score (known as the Frailty Estimate) along with fast, accurate and objective data. QTUG also incorporates a questionnaire based on the American Geriatric Society (AGS) and British Geriatric Society (BGS) guidelines recording standard falls risk-factors.

KINESIS QTUGâ„¢ KEY FEATURES
Falls Prevention, Gait and Mobility assessment
Proven technology Improving quality of care for older adults
Accurate assessment of falls risk
Prevent falls through more accurate assessment and referral!
Quantitative Timed Up and Go (QTUG) provides Falls risk score (a validated risk profile of a patients’ future risk of having a fall). QTUG also provides an estimate of Frailty. The Falls risk and Frailty scores have been extensively validated by nine years of research.
Comparison to reference population
QTUG can identify specific gait and mobility problems by automatic comparison of patient’s mobility (e.g. standing, walking turning) against average values for age and gender. The results are colour coded to highlight gait and mobility impairment.
Trend TUG time, falls risk and frailty over time
QTUGâ„¢ can be used to determine how a patient responds to intervention ,
therapy or medication by analyzing falls risk assessment and frailty scores as well as gait and mobility data across multiple assessments. Trend Falls risk, Frailty and TUG test data over time as well as view all historical tests.
Gait & Mobility assessment
Quantitative assessment of each phase of the TUG (Timed Up and Go) test including, standing, sitting, walking and turning. Customise results by pinning most relevant data to the summary results screen. Data are colour-coded to highlight any statistical deviations in mobility from reference values.
