Exam 1: STOM Flashcards
What is intrarater reliability?
The consistency of repeated measurements by the same person over time
What is interrater reliabilty?
The consistency of repeated measurements by more than one person
What does MCID stand for?
Minimally Clinically Important Difference
What is the MCID?
The smallest difference in a patient’s condition that the patient or clinician considers worthwhile that would warrant a change in the patient’s management
What does MDD stand for?
Minimal Detectable Difference
What is the MDD?
The minimal detectable change in the patient’s condition beyond the threshold or measurement error
What 6 STOMs have clinical practice guidelines?
- Berg Balance Scale
- Functional Gait Assessment
- Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale
- 10 Meter Walk Test
- 6 Minute Walk Test
- 5 Time Sit-to-Stand
What is the purpose of the Berg Balance Scale?
Assessment of static balance and fall risk in adults
What is the cutoff for the Berg Balance Scale?
< 45 indicates high fall risk
What type of evidence is there for the Berg Balance Scale?
Strong level I evidence to assess changes in static and dynamic sitting and standing balance
What does FGA stand for?
Functional Gait Assessment
What is the purpose of the FGA?
Assess postural stability and ability to perform multiple motor tasks while walking
Why was the FGA created?
As a modified version of the DGI to improve the reliability
What is the cutoff for the FGA?
< 22 is considered to be a high fall risk
What type of evidence is there for the FGA?
Strong to moderate evidence to assess chances in dynamic balance while walking
What is the purpose of the ABC?
Self-report measure of balance confidence in performing various activities
What does the ABC outcome measure stand for?
Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale
What is the cutoff for the ABC?
< 67% is considered to be a high fall risk
What score is considered to be a high level of physical functioning according to the ABC?
> 80%
What score is considered to be a moderate level of physical functioning according to the ABC?
50-80%
What score is considered to be a low level of physical functioning according to the ABC?
< 50%
What type of evidence is there for ABC?
Strong evidence to assess changes in balance confidence
What is the purpose for the 10 Meter Walk Test?
Assess walking speed over a short duration
What is the cutoff for the 10 Meter Walk Test to have increased risk of adverse events?
< 0.7 m/s
What speed on the 10 Meter Walk Test is considered to be a Household Ambulator?
< 0.4 m/s
What speed on the 10 Meter Walk Test is considered to be a Limited Community Ambulator?
0.4 - 0.8 m/s
What speed on the 10 Meter Walk Test is considered to be a Community Ambulator?
0.8 - 1.2 m/s
What speed on the 10 Meter Walk Test is considered to safely cross streets?
> 1.2 m/s
What change in speed on the 10 Meter Walk Test is considered to be a predictor for well-being and used as a standard patient goal?
Increase of 0.1 m/s
What is the purpose of the 6 Minute Walk Test?
Assess distance walked over 6 minutes to measure aerobic capacity and endurance
What type of evidence is there to support the 6 Minute Walk Test?
Strong to moderate evidence to assess changes in walking distance
What are the indications to perform the 6 Minute Walk Test?
Aerobic capacity, functional mobility, gait, endurance
What are the cutoffs for 60-69 year olds on the 6 Minute Walk Test?
Male = 572
Female = 538
