Gait Function Tests Flashcards
What percent of velocity correlates to deviated gait patterns
Less than 75 to 80 percent of normal
What is the dynamic gate index
Eight item assessment on a 0 to 3 scale assessing the risk for falls incorporates vision balance in stairs lower the score the greater the risk
What is the functional gait assessment
Similar to the dynamic but with 10 items (7 from DGI and 3 new)to address the ceiling effect of the DGI it predicts fall risk in community adults with a score of less than 22 out of 30
What is the functional ambulation profile
Three phases standing at parallel bar weight transfer from one Lower extremity to the other as fast as possible and walk 20 feet
What is the timed up and go
Rise from a chair walk 10 feet turn around and sit down 10 seconds is normal for adults 11 to 20 seconds is normal for elderly or disabled and greater than 20 seconds is abnormal and indicates a need for a further exam we also need to include the issues such as if they were slow with initiation turning for backing up
What is a FAM test used for
Assessing Trumatic brain injury stroke ads communication and cognition elements
What is a WeeFIM
For children assesses self-care mobility and cognition it rates how much assistance for independence the child has
What is PEDI
A pediatric evaluation of disability includes the self-care mobility and social function focusing on transfers independent locomotion caregiver assistance and any modifications needed
What is the six minute walk test
Have them walk for six minutes for distance they can stop if they need to also measure the pulse oximetry they can use assistive devices and it is one of the easiest cheapest and most effective tests
