Our Health and Social Sciences faculty members have teamed up with NUS and Geriatric Education and Research Institute (GERI) to establish Timed Up and Go (TUG) Values for Singaporean adults. As the established TUG values in our local population differ from westerners, this research will guide the development and evaluation of risk screening of adverse health outcomes in the local population.

A team of our Physiotherapy students are collaborating with our Engineering and Infocomm Technology students and faculty members and Ng Teng Fong General Hospital to design a Virtual Reality Mobility Training (VRMT) system. This will allow users such as patients with dementia who cannot ambulate outside safely, to walk in an environment that has meaning to them while staying in a nursing home.
