Abstract

Background: Stroke is the first cause of acquired disability in adults, causing changes in the normal gait pattern. The use of evaluation tools that are easy to apply, valid, reliable and responsive is imperative.

Objective: To evaluate the metric properties of the Timed Up and go Test in community-dwelling people with stroke.

Method: Systematic Review of Literature based on the recommended actions of the Joanna Brigs Institute for the PICo strategy and PRISMA recommendations, starting with the question: "What are the metric properties of the Timed Up and Go test in community-dwelling people with stroke?"

Results: Five studies were included in this review. This test presents significant reproducibility values and responsiveness. Criterion and construct validity is demonstrated in two studies.

Conclusions: The Timed Up and go Test can be considered as a reliable, valid instrument with responsiveness in community-dwelling people with stroke.
