FIM
Functional Independence Measure
Population: Acceptable for group administration and applicable across all disciplines. Commonly used by rehabilitation centers
Purpose: measure clients functional ability
FIM contains 18 items, including 13 motor tasks and 5 cognitive tasks related to activities of daily living (ADLs).
seven levels of functional ability represented on the FIM:
·Level 7 = Complete independence.
· Level 6 = Modified independence.
·Level 5 = Client requires supervision or setup.
·Level 4 = Minimal contact assistance: Client performs 75% or more of the task.
· Level 3 = Moderate assistance: Client performs 50–74% of the task.
·Level 2 = Maximum assistance: Client performs 25–49% of the task.
· Level 1 = Dependent/total assistance: Client performs <25% of the task.
· Level 0 = No activity occurs.”
The FIM’s 18 areas are: eating, grooming, bathing, upper-body dressing, lower-body dressing, toileting, bladder management, bowel management, bed-to-chair transfer, toilet transfer, shower transfer, locomotion (ambulatory or wheelchair), stairs, cognitive comprehension, expression, social interaction, problem-solving, and memory.
GAF
Global Assessment of Functioning
Population: patients with psychiatric disorders
The GAF uses a 100-point continuum of single items, from superior functioning with no symptoms (100–91) to persistent danger of harming self/others/inability to maintain minimal personal hygiene/serious suicidal act with clear intention of death (10–1). This 100-point scale is divided into ten functional ranges, though when applicable, intermediate scores are also possible.
Each 10-point range on the GAF scale is explained below:
· 100–91: no psychiatric symptoms; superior functioning in a wide range of activities.
· 90–81: minimal symptoms, e.g. occasional family arguments, mild anxiety before stressful events (exams/interviews/presentations); good functioning in every area, wide activity range; social effectiveness, general life satisfaction.
· 80–71: transient, expected reactions to stressors, like trouble concentrating following family conflict; only slight impairment in functioning, like temporary slips in school/work performance.
· 70–61: some mild symptoms, like mild insomnia, anxious/depressed mood; or some functional difficulty, but functions fairly well generally; some meaningful relationships.
· 60–51: moderate symptoms, e.g. occasional panic attacks; circumstantial, flat conversation; moderate functional difficulty like co-worker/family conflicts, few friends
· 50–41: serious symptoms like shoplifting frequently, obsessive-compulsive rituals, suicidal ideation; or serious functional impairment like inability to hold jobs, no friends.
· 40–31: some communicative/reality-testing impairment, e.g. illogical/irrelevant/obscure speech; or major impairment in several areas, e.g. family interactions, school/work, mood, thinking, or judgment—cannot work/school failure, neglects family, avoids friends.
· 30–21: delusions, hallucinations; seriously impaired judgment/communication; cannot function in most areas.
· 20–11: some danger of harming self/others or gross communication impairment; occasionally cannot maintain minimal personal hygiene.
· 10–1: persistent danger of harming self/others or inability to maintain minimal personal hygiene or serious suicidal act. 0: insufficient information.
