What is measured in the action research arm test:
Grasp, Grip, Pinch, Gross Movement
Berg Balance Scale
14-item scale designed to measure balance and fall risk of the older adult in a clinical setting.
Berg Balance Scale 0-20:
high fall risk, wheel chair bound
Berg Balance Scale 21-40:
medium fall risk, walking w/ AD
Berg Balance Scale 41-56:
low fall risk, independent
In the Berg Balance Scale, a change in function is signified by what score?
+/- 8 points
Dynamic Gait Index:
Asses the likelihood of falling in older adults; those at risk of falling
Stroke, MS, Parkinson’s, vestibular disorders, and essential tremor
What score on the DGI is related to increase to falls?
19 or less
Fugl Myer Motor Performance
Is a measure of extremity impairment severity
Orpington Prognostic Scale
assessment of stroke severity (Four components: motor, proprioception, balance and cognition)
When is the Orpington Prognostic Scale used?
used during acute (within 2-3 days of stroke to get adequate predictive measure of upper limb function 6-24 months post-stroke) and chronic stages
Orpington Prognostic Scale less 3.2
mild to moderate
Orpington Prognostic Scale 3.2-5.2
moderate to moderately severe
Orpington Prognostic Scale greater than 5.2
severe to major
Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS)
The ability to control balance in sitting and standing positions
What outcome measure requires certification?
FIM/FAM
