摘要
目的:寻找典型发育的沙特3 ~ 5岁学龄前儿童的Timed Up and Go (TUG)测试的参考值,并确定测试成绩的差异是否基于年龄或性别。材料和方法:本初步探索性研究涉及确定典型发育的沙特学龄前儿童的TUG值。检验各年龄组、性别、身高和体重指数(BMI)的TUG值的均值和标准差的差异。结果:研究期间,沙特典型发育学龄前儿童61名,年龄4.37±1.10岁,男性占55.7%。在所有年龄组中,TUG值从4.74到5.20秒不等,研究组中年龄较大的儿童所花费的时间趋于减少。男女在TUG时间上差异无统计学意义(P=0.81)。结论:本研究为典型发育的沙特学龄前儿童的TUG测试提供了参考数据,这可能有助于临床医生评估发育迟缓儿童并将其与年龄匹配的标准进行比较。
Timed Up and Go test: Reference data for Saudi preschool children.
Objective:To find reference values for the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test on typically developed Saudi preschool children aged from 3 to 5 years, and to determine whether differences in test scores are based on age or gender. Material and Methods: This pilot exploratory study involved determining TUG values of Saudi preschool-aged children with typical development. Differences in the mean and standard deviation of TUG values for each age group, gender, height, and Body Mass Index (BMI) were tested. Results: During the study period, 61 typically developed Saudi preschool children aged 4.37 ± 1.10 were tested, with 55.7% of the sample being male. TUG values ranged from 4.74 to 5.20 seconds across all age groups, with time taken tending to decrease for older children in the study group. No significant differences between males and females in TUG timing (P=0.81) were observed. Conclusion: This study provides reference data for the TUG test in typically developed Saudi preschoolers, which may benefit clinicians in assessing children with developmental delays and comparing them to age-matched norms.
