Abstract
To examine the relationship between Timed Up and Go (TUG) performance, verbal executive function (EF) performance, and quality-of-life (QOL) measures in Parkinson's disease (PD). Cross-sectional. Sixteen movement disorder centers from across the United States. Patients with PD (N=1964). Not applicable. TUG test, immediate and delayed 5-word recall, verbal fluency, PD QOL Questionnaire. TUG performance and verbal EF performance were significantly associated with, and predictors of, QOL measures, having the greatest association and predictability with the mobility domain of the QOL measures. The TUG test and verbal EF tests have QOL correlates, making the combined evaluation of mobility, cognitive, and QOL decline a potential examination tool to evaluate the sequelae of PD.
