The TUG (Time Up and Go) and Tinetti screening tests are used to assess the risk of falls in the elderly. Objectives: To analyse the effectiveness of the TUG and Tinetti screening tests for assessing the risk of falls in the elderly.Methods: This is a literature review of scientific articles and bibliographic sources using the following electronic databases: PubMed®, and Google Scholar – (Google Scholar); IBMR Academic Library and government website: IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics).Results: The tests together with balance training and muscle strengthening training suggest that they can reduce the percentage of falls and mortality in the elderly. Conclusion: The articles show that the studies discussed demonstrated the application and effectiveness of the TUG and Tinetti screening tests to assess the risk of falls in the elderly and thus prevent them. However, there is a shortage of studies and publications on the subject that prove the effectiveness of the TUG and Tinetti tests in physiotherapy.
