Corresponding author: evi.verbecque@uantwerpen.be Abstract Background and Aim The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) have been investigated extensively in literature for the assessment of balance control in children.1,2 PBS, whereas this is not the case for the TUG.1-3 Reference values, derived from American children, are available for the The purpose of this study was threefold: 1) to establish reference values for the TUG, 2) to determine whether results from Belgian 3 to 6-year-old children fit into the available reference data for the PBS and 3) to assess construct and criterion validity. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 188 3 to 6-year-old children between October 2013 and May 2014. The TUG was administered to the total sample and the PBS to a subsample (n=74). Results Three-year-old children(n=46) needed a mean time of 7.86 (±1.03) seconds, 4-year-olds (n=61) 7.30 (±1.27) seconds, 5-year-olds (n=65) 6.41 (±1.10) seconds and 6-year-olds (n=16) 5.44 (±0.81) seconds to perform the task.
