TUG Test stands for
timed up and go

Uses for TUG Test
Test mobility skills in seniors, or people with arthritis, Post CVA, or Vertigo
TUG Test Scoring for normal healthy adults
10 sec or less
Normative reference values for TUG Test by age range

- 2-10.2
- 0-12.7
TUG test cut off values predictive of falls Community dwelling
> 14 sec HIGH RISK
TUG test cut off values predictive of falls
Post-op hip fracture @ time of discharge
> 24 sec predictive of falls within the next 6 months after hip fracture
TUG test cut off values predictive of falls
frail older adults
> 30 sec predictive of requiring assistive device and dependent on ADLs
3 types of sensory analysis
Stereognosis
Graphesthesia
Light touch localiization
stereognosis
perceptual skillthat enables an individual to identify common objects and geometric shapes through tactile perception without aid of vision
Inability to reach in pocket and identify object is called
Astereognosis
Stereognosis testing procedure
client must have eyes covered, place several items in clients hand and one at a time and record whether they can recall them or not.
Graphesthesia
what is it
The ability to recognize writing in the skin purely by the sense of touch
what is graphesthesia used for
Graphesthesia is commonly used in sensory re-education following peripheral nerve injuries.
- could be early sign of Alzheimer’s disease
Graphesthesia testing procedure
client closes eyes, draw number letter or symbol on hand. have client identify symbol and repeat 3-5 times
peripheral nerve injuries graded on the
Sunderland scale, 5 degrees of severity
causes of peripheral nerve injuries
Laeration sever bruising gunshot overstretching drug injection injury electrical injury
neuropathy
non-reversible disease caused by nerve damage (damage to the nervous system) that creates pain, mostly in hands and feet.
Light touch localization
Localization tests the individual’s ability to perceive where on the skin he/she was touched with a light stimulus
Problems that can happen if client has touch localization issues
Impaired touch localization may lead to decreased fine motor coordination
-Drop things, risk of burns, cuts, cold or heat receptors (Frost bite, Heat stroke)
Localization –Testing Procedure
pt. closes eyes.
Lightly touch the applicable body regions with the piece of cotton using consistent and minimal contact pressure.
Ask patient to indicate where touched.
Pain Acute VS Chronic
Protective process (acute pain) becomes destructive (chronic pain)
Name all 9 Endocrine glands
Hypothalamus, Pituitary gland, Thyroid gland, Parathyroid, Adrenal gland, Pineal Gland, Thymus, Gonads, Pancreas, Ovaries
the process of when the pancreas release hormones and why.
o Pancreas oversees keeping blood sugar levels under control. It uses insulin (high blood sugar) and glucagon (low blood sugar) to either increase or decrease the amount glucose in blood
where the hormones go after they are released from the pancreas
o When insulin -> tissue cells., and the glucose -> liver
