Gross Motor Function Measure
GMFM
-Criterion-referenced
-Used to monitor change over time
-Validated with CP ages 5 mos to 16 yrs
Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency
BOTMP
-valid for 4.5-14.5 years
- Norm-referenced and best used to compare a patient to age-matched peers.
Barthel Index
Population: stroke, TBI, geriatrics
Measures: performance of 10 ADL/mobility tasks
ACTIVITY LIMITATION
Scores: 0-100 higher scores indicate greater IND
Stroke: <62.90 moderate disability
<21.30 severe disability
Functional Independence Measure
FIM
Populations: stroke, TBI, SCI, MS and geriatrics
Measures: level of disability and amount of assist required for ADL’s with performance of 18 tasks
ACTIVITY LIMITATION
Scores: 18-126 higher scores indicate higher level of function
MCID stroke: 22 pts
FIM total score of 37-72 at admission showed higher gains than >73 or <36
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale
NIHSS
Population: stroke
Measures: severity of symptoms and impairments following stroke
BODY STRUCTURE/FUNCTION
Score: 0-42 (lower indicates less severity)
Stroke severity:
-Mild: 1-5
-Mild to moderate: 5-14
-Severe: 15-24
-Very severe: >25
Outcomes related to scores at admission
- <5: 80% discharged home
- 6-13: typically require acute inpatient rehab
- >14: frequently require long-term skilled care
Expanded Disability Status Scale
System for quantifying disability d/t MS
-0-4.5: able walk IND
-6.0: intermittent or constant unilateral assist (cane, crutch, brace) required to walk about 100 meters with/without resting
-6.5: constant bilat UE assist required to walk about 20 meters
-7: essentially in a w/c, IND with propulsion/transfers
-8.5: essentially restricted to bed for much of day; some effective use of arm, retains some self care
Mini Mental State Exam
MMSE
Populations: stroke, TBI, geriatrics, PD, alzheimer’s/dementia
Screening tool uses several questions and tasks to assess cognitive impairment
BODY STRUCTURE/FUNCTION
Score: 0-30 (higher scores indicate better cognition)
=/<24 indicates presence of cognitive impairment
None: 24-30
Mild: 18-23
Severe: 0-17
Montreal Cognitive Assessment
MoCA
Populations: geriatrics, PD, stroke, dementia
Screening tool used to detect mild cognitive dysfunction
BODY STRUCTURE/FUNCTION
Scores: 0-30 (higher scores indicate greater cognition)
<23 suggests cognitive dysfunction
Mini BESTest
Populations: acquired/TBI, geriatrics, movement disorders, MS, PD, stroke, vestibular dysfunction
BODY STRUCTURE and FUNCTION
Scores: 0-28 (higher scores indicates less impairment)
14 items rated 0-2 that address anticipatory/reactionary postural adjustments, sensory orientation and dynamic gait
Falls risk
Stroke: =/<17.5
PD: <23
MDC/MCID
Vestibular: 4 pts
PD: 5.5 pts
Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia
SARA
Populations: cerebellar dysfunction, stroke
Provides quantitative assessment of impairments related to ataxia
BODY STRUCTURE/FUNCTION, ACTIVITY LIMITATIONS
0-40 (lower score indicates less ataxia)
Gait: =/<8: IND
=/<11.5 quad cane
=/<12.25: walker
ADL’s:
=/<5.5 IND
=/<10 min DEP
=/<14.25 mod DEP
=/< 23 max DEP
Rancho Level I
No response
Complete absence of observable behavior when presented with visual, auditory, tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular or painful stimuli
Rancho Level II
Generalized Response
Reaction to external stimuli is non-specific, inconsistent, and non-purposeful manner with stereotypical and limited responses
Rancho Level III
Localized Response
Responds specifically and inconsistently to stimuli with delays
-Turn toward or away from auditory stimuli
-Following moving object within visual field
-May follow simple commands (squeeze my hand)
Rancho Level IV
Confused/agitated
-Alert and in heightened state of activity
-May be restless aggressive or abusive d/t confusion
-Absent short-term memory
-Performance of motor activities without purpose
-Lack of deficit awareness (SAFETY CONCERN)
Rancho Level V
Confused/inappropriate/non-agitated
-Alert and non-agitated
-Not oriented
-Gross attention to environment but highly distractible
-Severely impaired recent memory
-Unable to learn new info
-Absence of goal-directed, problem solving, self-monitoring behavior
-Appropriate responses to simple commands with external cues
Rancho Level VI
Confused/appropriate
-Inconsistently oriented to person, place, and time
-Emerging awareness of appropriate response to self, family, and basic needs
-Goal-directed behavior but dependent on external cues
-Remote memory better than recent memory
-Demonstrates carry-over for some re-learned familiar tasks (self- care)
-Consistently follows simple directions
Rancho Level VII
Automatic/appropriate (Robotic)
-Appropriate behavior in familiar settings
-Performs daily routines automatically
-Demonstrates carry-over of new learning
-Unrealistic planning for the future and overestimates abilities
-Initiates social interactions, but judgement remains impaired
-Imitates others
