Individuals with essential tremor often experience movement difficulties that can affect these postural transitions, limiting mobility and independence. Yet, little research has examined the performance of postural transitions in people with essential tremor. Therefore, we assessed postural transition performance using two versions of the timed up and go test: the standard version and a more complex water-carry version. We examined the total duration of the standard and water-carry timed up and go in 15 people with and 15 people without essential tremor. We also compared the time taken for each phase (sit-to-stand phase, straight-line walk phase, stand-to-sit phase) and the turning velocity between groups. Our findings revealed decreased performance across all phases of standard and water-carry timed up and go assessments. Further, both ET and non-ET groups exhibited reduced performance during the water-carry timed up and go compared to the standard timed up and go. Evaluating specific phases of the timed up and go offers valuable insights into functional movement performance in essential tremor, permitting more tailored therapeutic interventions to improve functional performance during activities of daily living.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24072216","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,31]],"date-time":"2024-03-31T13:32:56Z","timestamp":1711891976000},"page":"2216","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Evaluating Postural Transition Movement Performance in Individuals with Essential Tremor via the Instrumented Timed Up and Go"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-1151-7000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick G.","family":"Monaghan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Kinesiology, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William M.","family":"Murrah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Educational Foundations, Leadership, and Technology, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Harrison C.","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35249, USA"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35249, USA"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35249, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristina A.","family":"Neely","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Kinesiology, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8760-8881","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaimie A.","family":"Roper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Kinesiology, Auburn University, Auburn, AL 36849, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"28","DOI":"10.5334\/tohm.632","article-title":"How Common Is Essential Tremor?
