Q

Two-Point Gait Pattern

A
  • WBAT to FWB
  • one or two canes, one or two crutches, or hemi-walker
17
Q

Three-Point Gait Pattern

A

NWB, PWB
Cannot be performed with (B) canes

18
Q

MDC

A
  • Minimal Detectable change
  • Changes made based on amount of errors
19
Q

MCID

A
  • Minimally Clinically Important Difference
  • Functional Change that means something
20
Q

10 Meter Walk Test

A
  • Measure of gait speed
21
Q

Six-Minute Walk Test

A
  • aerobic capacity / endurance
  • Measure maximal distance
  • at least 30 minutes rest should be allowed between tests
  • does not need to complete the six minutes
  • may use their assistive devices
22
Q

Time Up and Go

A
  • Basic functional mobility
    -Fall risk
23
Q

Dynamic Gait Infex

A
  • Gait Speed
  • Fall risk
24
Q

Five Times Sit to Stand Test

A
  • Lower extremity strength
  • Fall risk
25
AM-PAC
- Activity measure for Post Acute Care
26
High Fall Risk for TUG, DGI, and 5x STS
- TUG: greater or equal to 12 seconds - DGI: less than 19/24 - 5x STS: greater than 15 seconds
27
Walking speed: 6 Vital Sign
- Greater or equal to 1: capable of walking in community - Less than 1 but greater or equal to 0.6: limited ability to walk in the community, risk of falls - Less than 0.6: limited community or household walking, risk for hospitalization
28
Walking Speed data
- Typical range 1.2 - 1.4 m/s - MDC most common is 0.1 m/s
29
For the 6 minute walk test, what distance is predictive of hospitalization or mortality?
less than 200m
30
Timed Up and Go (TUG)
- with or without an assistive device - one practice trial - no physical assistance - closely guard
31
Timed Up and GO mean values
60-69: 7.1 - 9 70- 79: 8.2 - 10.2 80-99: 10-12.7
32
When do you stop the 5xSTS test
when the patient fully sits down
33
What does the DGI assess?
Individual's ability to adapt gait to a variety of external demands
34
4-point scale for DGI
3 = No gait dysfunction 2 = Minimal Impairment 1 = Moderate Impairment 0 = Severe Impairment
35
Scoring for AM-PAC, related to difficulty
1 = Total; Dependent 2 = A lot; maximum or moderate assistance 3 = A little; minimum assistance, contact guard assistance, supervision 4 = None; no human assistance needed * Higher score indicates fewer limitations in functional performance
