Practical Flashcards
Scoring for Functional Reach
2 practice trials + 3 real trials
What score on the Functional Reach indicates limited balance
6-7 in

Scoring for Modified functional reach
1 practice trial + average of last two
How many trials for each condition on the m-CTSIB if they cannot do 30 sec
2 trials then do average
What is increased risk of falling for the SLS
less than 5 sec
How many trials are allowed for Romberg and Sharpened Romberg
3 total (longest of each trial)
How long should you go for on the Romberg and Sharpened Romberg
60 sec
How is the normalized distance calculated for Y Balance Test
(avg distance/leg length) x 100
How is scoring done for the Y balance test
3 trials at each spot, then take the average of these measures……then calculate normalized distance
What score on the Fullerton = high fall risk
25 and lower (max score is 40)
How far do you have to walk for the TUG
3 m
What score on the TUG means dependent for ADLs
More than 30 sec
How many trials for the TUG
1 practice + 1 real
Can you use AD with TUG
yes
How many trials for the parallel walk test
1 trial outside
3 trials inside (BUT only count 2 of the best trials inside) .
Scoring for the parallel walk test
Average time of the best 2 of 3 trials then calculate percent difference:
(inside avg-outside speed)/outside speed) x 100
How long and wide should the cooridor be for the parallel walk test
6 m long and 20 cm wide
What would indicate fall risk on the parallel walk test
More than 15% slower inside the corridor than outside
What is a + test finding for the tandem walk test
unable to walk 10 steps with eyes closed
How many practice and how many real trials for the 4 square step test
1 practice + 2 real
