TI  - Minimal Detectable Change for TUG and TUDS Tests for Children With Down Syndrome.
PG  - 77-82
AB  - PURPOSE: To determine test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change of 
      the Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Timed Up and Down Stairs (TUDS) for Down syndrome. 
      SUBJECTS: Twelve children with Down syndrome (DS) aged 3 to 17 years. METHODS: 
      Two sessions, 1 week apart, with 3 trials of the TUG and 2 trials of the TUDS. 
      Test-retest reliability was estimated using intraclass correlation coefficients 
      and the standard error of measurement. The minimal detectable changes (MDCs) for 
      both tests were calculated. RESULTS: The TUG and TUDS tests both had high 
      test-retest reliability. The MDC was 1.26 seconds for the TUG and 12.52 seconds 
      for the TUDS test. CONCLUSIONS: Both tests were reliable in this population, but 
      the MDC results suggest only the TUG is clinically useful.
