Functional Outcome Measures Flashcards

Q

DGI

A

Dynamic Gait Index (DGI)
* Objectively measure a patient’s balance and postural control, specifically during gait activities.
* Includes 8 items that are scored on a 4-point scale (0-3), with lower scores indicating greater impairment.

  • Gait with pivot turns. The patient is instructed to start walking at a normal pace and then turn and face the opposite direction as fast as possible when the examiner gives the command.

*Stepping over obstacles. The patient is instructed to walk at a normal pace towards an obstacle (e.g., shoebox) and to step over that obstacle once they reach it.

  • Walking around multiple obstacles (i.e., weaving in and out).

*Navigating stairs. The patient is instructed to walk up and down a set of stairs as they normally would, using the railing if necessary.

  • Does not involve an assessment of ambulating backwards. However, this is an item included on the more challenging Functional Gait Assessment.

PAR-Q & You

A

(Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire)

  • 15-69 y/o that are planning on becoming physically active more than they ar.
  • 7 Y/N questions related to current health and functional status.
  • Yes to 1 or more question means the person should talk to their doctor prior to becoming more physically active.

Q

Cut off score for high risk of falling with TUG?

A

over 30 seconds to complete the test are considered a high fall risk.

Patients who require over 20 seconds are considered to have an increased fall risk and are at the limit for functional independence.

A patient is considered independent if they complete the test in 10 seconds or less

Q

Fugl-Meyer sensorimotor assessment of balance

A
  • sensorimotor assessment of balance performance battery consists of
  • 7 items assessed with a score ranging from 0-2 on each item.
  • 0 = patient cannot perform a task
  • 2 = patient can successfully perform the task.
  • maximum score on the assessment is 14.
