Reliability and Validity of Three DT-TUG Protocols in MS

Comparison of the Reliability and Convergent Validity of Three Dual-Task Timed Up and Go Protocols in People With Multiple Sclerosis

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Aug 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Dual-tasking is performing two different tasks at the same time. For example, singing while cooking. Everyday activities often involve dual-task. In many researches evaluating dual-task performance in individuals with MS, it has been reported that individuals with severe disability, in particular, exhibit greater effort than healthy individuals. This increase in motor and cognitive dual-task performance in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is associated with an increased risk of falls. There is a need for standardized, valid, and reliable assessment tools to evaluate dual-task performance in MS. The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the validity and reliability of the dual-task Timed Up and Go test administered using three different protocols.
