  • outcomes and assessment information set (OASIS)
  • SF-36 or SF-12
41

Q

SF-36 or SF-12

A

d

46
Q
  • Bedside evaluation of sitting balance
  • evaluates sensory, motor, proactive, reactive, and steady state balance factors
  • assesses functional sitting abilities, describe sitting balance dysfunction, focus on interventions, and track changes in sitting balance over time
  • provides a form of assessment of lower level patients, especially if other balance tests may be too difficult for the patient
A

Function in Sitting Test (FIST)

47
Q

FIST description

A
  • 14 functional sitting ability tasks
  • designed as bedside clinical measure
  • scored PT
  • uses a single set of scoring criteria for each of the 14 items
  • quick assessment tool (usually completed < 10 mins)
48
Q

FIST population

A

Best suited for patients with:

  • Ability to follow simple directions (verbal or nonverbal)
  • Known or suspected sitting balance deficits
  • Impulsiveness
  • Safety issues in sitting
  • Slow movement
  • Poor seated motor control
  • cannot tolerate other balance tests (low level pts)
  • are unable to stand or ambulate without excessive assistance or devices (low level pts)
49
Q

measures motor impairment of the trunk after a stroke (or other neurological injury or condition) through the evaluation of static and dynamic sitting balance as well as coordination of trunk movement

A

Trunk Impairment Scale

50
Q

Trunk Impairment Scale description

A
  • 17-item
  • 20-minute test
  • contains three sub-scales: static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance and coordination
51
Q

Trunk Impairment Scale population

A

people with neurological conditions such as stroke, PD and other non-specific populations (MS, TBI, CP)

52
Q

aimed to develop a measure to screen older adults for balance and gait impairments that was feasible for use, reliable and sensitive to significant changes, and reflected position changes and gait maneuvers used during daily activities (tests gait and balance abilities in older adults and determines level of fall risk)

A

Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment

53
Q

Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment description

A
  • 16 tasks: 9 balance and 7 gait
  • Ordinal scale from 0-2 (0 = most impaired, 2 = independent)
  • Total possible balance score of 16 points
  • Total possible gait score of 12 points
  • Total possible test score of 28 points
  • 10-15 minutes
  • Consists of standing and seated tasks
  • Some tasks have patients eyes closed/open
54
Q

Tinetti minimal detectable change

A

Older adults: 4 points

55
Q

Tinetti cut off scores

A

Total score out of 28

< 19 = High fall risk

56
Q

Objective measure used to assess balance and fall risk in adult population; limitations = high ceiling effect for higher level patients and doesn’t assess gait

A

Berg Balance Scale

57
Q

Berg Balance Scale description

A

14 item scale testing balance with transfers, static and dynamic activity

58
Q

Berg Balance Scale minimal detectable change

A

Elderly population change of 4 points

59
Q

Berg Balance Scale cut off scores

A

21-40 medium fall risk

<20 = high fall risk

60
Q

Assesses mobility, balance, walking ability, and fall risk in older adults; pt sits in chair with his/her back against the chair back, on “go” pt rises from chair, walks 3 meters at a comfortable and safe pace, turns around at the line, walks back to the chair and sits down, timing begins at “go” and stops when pt is seated, must use the same AD each time he/she is tested to be able to compare scores

A

Timed Up and Go (TUG)

61
Q

TUG cut off scores

A

Community dwelling adults: >13.5

62
Q

assesses pt’s dynamic stability by measuring the maximum distance an individual can reach forward while standing (modified – sitting) in a fixed position

A

Functional Reach Test and Modified Functional Reach Test

63
Q
  • pt instructed to stand close to (not touching) a wall and position the arm that is closer to the wall at 90 degrees of shoulder flexion with a closed fist
  • PT records the starting position at the 3rd metacarpal head on the yardstick
  • Instruct the pt to “Reach as far as you can forward without taking a step”
  • location of the 3rd metacarpal is recorded
  • difference between the start and end position is the reach distance, usually measured in inches
  • test allows for 4 total trials: 1 practice trial, followed by 3 “test” trials; distances of the last 3 trials are averaged to obtain the patient’s score
A

Functional Reach Test and Modified Functional Reach Test
- Modified Functional Reach Test is with them in sitting with back against the wall, hips, knees and ankles flexed to 90, leaning forward and laterally each direction. Once they lean mark the position of their fifth finger. If cannot lift arm, movement of the acromion is measured.

64
Q

Functional Reach Test cut off scores

A

Community Dwelling Elderly: FRT < 7 inches

65
Q

assesses the likelihood of falls in older adults; designed to test 8 facets of gait; performed with a marked distance of 20 feet

  • Can be performed with or without an AD
  • Scores are based on a 4-point scale:
  • Highest possible score is 24 points
  • Tasks include: Steady state walking, Walking with changing speeds, Walking with head turns both horizontally and vertically, Walking while stepping over and around obstacles, Pivoting while walking, Stair climbing
A

Dynamic Gait Index

66
Q

Dynamic Gait Index cut off scores

A

< 19 = High risk of falls in the elderly

> 22 = Safe ambulator
