How Outcome Is Measured
We use various tools & measures to assess the outcomes of geriatric physiotherapy to ensure that we achieve the set goals. Some commonly utilized tools include
ASSESSMENT TOOLS USED
These tools, along with functional assessments, range of motion measurements, strength testing, and other specific tests, help evaluate the outcomes and effectiveness of geriatric physiotherapy interventions. They provide quantitative and qualitative data to track progress, guide treatment planning, and monitor the overall impact of physiotherapy on the well-being of geriatric patients.
Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA)
This assessment evaluates gait and balance in older adults. It includes tasks such as sitting balance, standing balance, and walking ability..
Berg Balance Scale
It is a standardized measure that evaluates balance and fall risk in older adults. It includes tasks such as maintaining standing balance, reaching, and turning.
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test:
This test measures the time taken by an individual to rise from a chair, walk a short distance, turn around, and return to the seated position. It assesses mobility, balance, and fall risk.
6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)
The 6MWT measures the distance an individual can walk in six minutes, providing an assessment of their exercise tolerance, endurance, and functional capacity. I
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
The SPPB assesses lower extremity function, including balance, gait speed, and chair stands. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of physical performance and predicts functional decline and disability risk..
Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
his tool evaluates an individual's functional abilities in activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility. It measures the level of independence and assistance required.
