摘要

Background and Purposes: The purpose of this study was to test whether rating the performance of the subjects using the ”on-site” versus ”off-line” analyses would affect the intrarater and interrater reliabilities of the timed ”Up and Go” Test (TUGT). Methods: Sixteen healthy adults and sixteen subjects with neurological or orthopedic diseases (mean age=44.4 years; 13 males, 23 females) participated in this study. The subjects completed two trials of the TUGT consecutively on the same day. The time to complete the test was recorded on-site by 3 experienced physical therapists. The performance of the two trials was recorded on videotapes for analysis on a later day. One week later, the 3 therapists analyzed the performance of the recorded trials from videotapes (off-line 1).Two months later, the 3 therapists analyzed the first trial of each subject from the videotapes again (off-line 2). Results: Excellent intrarater and interrater reliabilities were found for the TUGT using both the ”on-site” and ”off-line” analyses (ICC≧0.99). The performance of the subjects in the second trial (mean=16.8 seconds) was significantly faster than that in the first trial (mean=16.2 seconds, p＜0.0001). There was only approximately 0.3 seconds difference between the same trial analyzed with the ”on-site” and ”off-line” methods (p＞0.05). The repeated analysis of the same trial from the videotape (off-line 1 vs. off-line 2) showed only approximately 0.1 seconds difference (p＞0.05). Conclusions: Intrarater and interrater reliabilities for the TUGT were excellent for both ”on-site” and ”off-line” analyses. However, the performance of the subjects in the second trials was significantly faster than that in the first trial.
