Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Timed up and go Cognitive

  The change in time to complete the Timed Up and Go - Cognitive (TUG-Cog) is recorded in seconds. The participant is timed with a stop watch while walking 3 meters turning and returning to a chair while performing a concurrent cognitive task. This time is compared to the Timed Up and Go (TUG) and the difference in time indicates the effect cognitive deficits have on motor function. Higher scores, indicating more time, means worse outcomes.

  12 weeks
