1>4= unable>ind
cut-off:17 (institutional discharge)

Question 2

PFIT-s (physical fn intensive care test)

Answer 2

measures independence w/ shoulder and knee strength, STS and marching

ICU Mobility Scale

Answer 8

11-item scale measuring the highest level of functional mobility of ICU pts

Question 9

5TSTS

Answer 9

balance assessment; has a floor effect
cutoff:15s= fall risk

Question 10

30s Chair Rise

Records # of stands in 30 seconds rather than time to complete pre-determined # of reps. Addresses floor effect of 5X STS as it can assess a wide variety of abilities.

Question 11

Modified Berg Balance Scale

Answer 11

bedside eval of sitting balance- 14 items from 0-4. best for impulsive/poor motor control pts/pts unable to stand

Question 13

Modified Borg RPE

FIM (Functional Ind Measure)

Answer 14

a pretty universal measure of disability/ change in status post-intervention includes self-care, sphincter ctrl, mobility, transfers, communication, and cognition (1-7:untestable to complete ind)
