Outcome Measures Flashcards

Question

Infant- less than 18 months

Answer 1

Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) - Observation, performance-based, norm-referenced - evaluates motor development over time **except those with altered movement patterns due to functional limitation (e.g. paralysis/spasticity)**

Answer 2

Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2) - fine and gross motor skills - Area including: balance, coordination, dexterity, functional mobility, gait, strength, upper extremity function, vestibular function

Answer 3

Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) - 5-level classification system - sitting, walking and wheeled mobility - Level I= walk without restrictions but limited in some advanced gross motor - Level V= very limited even with assistive device Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) - Observation - measures change in gross motor function over time - Assesses motor function rather than the quality ** Can be used for down syndrome and acquired brain injuries**

Answer 4

- walking speed in m/s - balance and mobility

Answer 5

- elderly - functional lower extremity strength and balance

Answer 6

- distance walked over 6 minutes - sub-maximal test of endurance

Answer 7

- Self-report questionnaire - degree of balance confidence when performing various activities

Answer 8

- For Concussion return to play - Objective measure --> static postural stability

Answer 9

- functional mobility for neurological conditions - Items include: rolling, lying to sitting, sitting balance, transfers, ambulation, wheelchair mobility, and arm function

Answer 10

- high-level balance and mobility deficits for community ambulation - Examples: single leg stance, tandem walking, hopping, walk and pick up item from floor, running and stopping, forwards to backwards walking, stairs, step ups

Answer 11

- Balance while walking with external demands - Assess: gait, balance and falls risk - 8 aspects of gait including: gait on level surface, change in gait speed, gait with horizontal head turns, gait with vertical head turns, gait with pivot turn, step over obstacle, step around obstacle, stairs

Answer 12

- static and dynamic balance in sitting and standing - Test items sitting balance, transfer, sit to stand, stand to sit, standing balance, eyes closed standing, standing with feet together, forward reach, picking up object from floor, turning to look behind, 360 degree turn, tandem stance, single leg stance, alternate foot tap ups 5-point ordinal scale (0 – 4) with a total score out of 56 - 20 or lower = high falls risk - 21-40 = moderate falls risk - 41-45 = low falls risk

Answer 13

- sitting, standing, dynamic balance during ambulation - Seated/standing test items include: sitting balance, movement from sit to stand, standing balance, standing eyes closed, external perturbation, turning 360 degrees, sitting down - Gait assessment (15 ft) looks at: step length, foot clearance, step symmetry, deviation in ambulation path amount of trunk sway BOS - 3-point ordinal scale (0 – 2) with a total score out of 28 (16 = balance, 12 = gait) - 18 or lower = high falls risk - 19-23 = moderate falls risk - Score 24 or higher = low falls risk

Answer 14

- maximal distance: reach forwards while standing in a fixed position - Modified=sit in a fixed position and reach Normal: Able to reach 10 in/25cm

Answer 15

- mobility, balance, walking ability and fall risk in older adults - may stop and rest (but not sit down) if needed - sitting-->walks to a cone 3 meters away-->turns around-->walks back to the chair-->sits down - Record the time: back leaves the backrest --> back touches the backrest again <10 sec: normal 20-30 sec: good community mobility, mobile without a gait aid >30 sec: mobility problem, can't go outside alone, need gait aid
