High Fall Risk for TUG, DGI, and 5x STS

Answer 26

• TUG: greater or equal to 12 seconds
• DGI: less than 19/24
• 5x STS: greater than 15 seconds

Question 27

Walking speed: 6 Vital Sign

Answer 27

• Greater or equal to 1: capable of walking in community
• Less than 1 but greater or equal to 0.6: limited ability to walk in the community, risk of falls
• Less than 0.6: limited community or household walking, risk for hospitalization

• closely guard

Question 31

Timed Up and GO mean values

Answer 31

60-69: 7.1 - 9
70- 79: 8.2 - 10.2
80-99: 10-12.7

Question 32

When do you stop the 5xSTS test

Answer 32

when the patient fully sits down

Question 33

What does the DGI assess?

Answer 33

Individual’s ability to adapt gait to a variety of external demands

Question 34

4-point scale for DGI

Answer 34

3 = No gait dysfunction
2 = Minimal Impairment
1 = Moderate Impairment
0 = Severe Impairment

Question 35

Scoring for AM-PAC, related to difficulty

Answer 35

1 = Total; Dependent
2 = A lot; maximum or moderate assistance
3 = A little; minimum assistance, contact guard assistance, supervision
4 = None; no human assistance needed

• Higher score indicates fewer limitations in functional performance
