Secondary title:	Comparison of Timed up and go test and L-test in the elderly
Secondary abstract:	Introduction: Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a functional test used to assess mobility and balance, and the L-test is a modified TUG that is more extensive and demanding. Purpose: The objective of this diploma paper was to compare TUG and L-test in the elderly living in the retirement home and in the elderly living in the community. Methods: 57 elderly respondents (47 women, 10 men) with an average age of 76,32 (10,35) participated in this survey. Respondents were divided into 3 groups: the elderly living in the community and the elderly living in the retirement home (the latter were divided into 2 groups – the elderly in need of walking assistance devices, and the elderly who do not need such devices). We calculated values for Person’s (r), Post hoc tests (Bonferroni) and relationship ratio index tests for each individual. Results: Respondents living in the community needed an average time of 6,12 s (±1,09 s) for the completion of the TUG, the elderly living in the retirement home who do not use any walking assistance devices needed an average time of 10,1 s ±2,46 s, and the elderly living in the retirement home who use walking assistance devices needed an average time of 17,03 s ±4,58 s. Respondents living in the community needed an average time of 13,87 s ±2,19 s for the completion of the L-test, the elderly living in the retirement home who do not use any walking assistance devices needed an average time of 23,97 s ±6,39 s, and the elderly living in the retirement home who use walking assistance devices needed an average time of 37,91 s ±9,61 s. The correlation between the value of the TUG and the L-test is statistically significantly positive (p < 0,0001, r = 0,98), which was also proven for each individual group. The groups were compared with each other and it was established that groups statistically differ (p < 0,05) in the duration of TUG- and Ltests. Discussion and conclusion: TUG and L test are good measuring tools for assessing mobility in elderly. Both tests have excellent interconnection within an individual group and in all groups. The time of performing the TUG and L-test statistically differs between the subjects according to their abilities.
