16
Q

what do pts need to be for both DGI and FGA and can they use AD

A
  • pt needs to be independent ambulatory
  • can use AD
17
Q

what is the total score of DGI

A

24

18
Q

cut off scores for fall risk on mini-best and what is the max score

A

Ages 65+: < 25
PD: <20
Stroke: <18

max: 28

19
Q

what does the 6 MWT assess

A
  • sub-max exercise test used to assess walking endurance and aerobic capacity
20
Q

what does 10 MWT assess

A
  • assess walking speed
21
Q

what can gait speed be used to predict

A

fall risk and functional ability

22
Q

what does 5xSTS measure

A

functional strength to assist quantifying functional change with transitional movements

23
Q

fall risk cut off score for PD in 5xSTS

A

> 16 seconds

24
Q
  • inability to perfom 5xsts in less than ____ associated with increased disability and morbidity
  • cut off of ____ in predicting recurrent fallers
A
  • 13.6 sec
  • 15 sec
25
Q

age norms for 5xSTS

A

60-69: 11.4 sec
70-79: 12.6 sec
80-89: 14.8 sec

26
Q

scores of what on functional reach indicate greater fall risks and less risk for falls

A

greater fall risk: < 6-7 cm
less fall risk: >10 cm

27
Q

what are the 3 categories assessed on AMPAC 6 clicks

A

basic mobility
daily activity
applied cognitive

28
Q

what is AMPAC 6 clicks used for and what can it assist with

A
  • used to quantify pt’s functional status in acute care
  • assists with discharge disposition
29
Q

what is the gold standard for quantifying function in inpatient rehab, but is no longer used

A

functional independence measure (FIM)

30
Q

what does FIM assess

A

ADLs
mobility
basic cognitive function

31
Q

what is section GG

A
  • section required by Medicare and Medicad to quantify pt function
  • replace FIM in inpatient rehab
  • built into multidimensional measures to function tool dependent on setting
  • determine discharge disposition, outcomes, quality of care, and level of reimbursement
  • includes admission and discharge self-care and mobility performance
32
Q

where can section GG be used

A

inpatient rehab
LTACH
SNF
home health settings

33
Q

describe the barthel index

A
  • Commonly used in stroke patients (sometimes geriatrics)
  • Used to record what a pt does, NOT what they could do
  • Establishes degree of independence from any help, physical or verbal
  • Feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowels, bladder, toilet use, transfers, mobility, stairs
  • used to replace FIM, much faster
