Timed Up and Go & Dual-Task Timed Up and Go
Presented by J.J. Mowder-Tinney
Improving quality of care and effectiveness of treatments requires optimal utilization of the most appropriate standardized outcome measures.

This course will highlight the rationales for the Timed Up and Go and Dual-Task Timed Up and Go tests, as well as the key aspects of performing them accurately for therapists to easily integrate into everyday practice.
