TI  - Reliability and Responsiveness of the Timed Up and Go Test in Children With 
      Cerebral Palsy.

AB  - PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the absolute reliability and 
      responsiveness of the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, as measured using minimal 
      detectable change (MDC) and minimal clinical important difference (MCID) values. 
      METHODS: Prospective observational study of children aged 3 to 10 years with 
      cerebral palsy (CP) in Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I-III 
      who completed the TUG test. Minimal detectable change estimates were calculated 
      using baseline data. MCID estimates for each Gross Motor Function Classification 
      System (GMFCS) level were calculated using distribution- and anchor-based 
      methods. RESULTS: Minimal detectable change values ranged from 1.40 to 8.74 
      seconds and MCID estimates ranged from 0.22 to 5.31 seconds. CONCLUSIONS: The TUG 
      test is a reliable and responsive measure of balance and mobility for children 
      with CP between 3 and 10 years of age in GMFCS levels I-III. Study results 
      support improved use of the TUG test in clinical and research settings by 
      providing reliability values and estimates of meaningful change. VIDEO ABSTRACT:
