Classifies TUG time against the standard fall-risk cut-offs (< 10 s
normal; >= 13.5 s elevated community-dwelling fall risk, Shumway-Cook
2000; >= 30 s likely dependent, Podsiadlo & Richardson 1991), with an
optional normative z-score.
Usage
scoreTUG(x, ref = NULL, covariates = list())
Arguments
- x
A TUG time in seconds, or a PhysioMoCap itug_report (its
total_duration is used).
- ref, covariates
Optional normative reference / covariates for a z-score.
Value
A "performance_test_score" with time, category
and fall_risk (logical, >= 13.5 s).
