20 lis 2022 · This test is useful because it can be applied to different patient populations, including the elderly, patients with Parkinson disease or multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and stroke patients. Using a standardized scoring system, the test assesses a patient’s balance and gait.
11 maj 2021 · Our findings indicate that older patients with a recent fracture and an initially poor gait and balance performance (median Tinetti score of 8 (IQR 1–14)) might benefit most from CGC. The expected improvement is considerable; in our study, these patients improved their ability for performing gait and balance tasks by a median value of 14 (IQR ...
The Tinetti-test, also called Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) assesses a person's perception of balance and stability during activities of daily living and their fear of falling. It is a very good indicator of the fall risk of an individual.
27 sty 2020 · The objective of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment gait scale (POMA-G) and cane height assessment under various video and transmission settings to demonstrate the feasibility of teleassessment.
31 sty 2014 · Tinetti aimed to develop a measure to screen older adults for balance and gait impairments that was feasible for use (i.e., required no equipment and no training to master), was reliable and sensitive to significant changes, and reflected position changes and gait maneuvers used during daily activities.
Mobility recovery is closely linked to health status and quality of life, but there is no comprehensive overview of how gait has been evaluated in intervention studies on hip fracture patients.
oughly yet efficiently without a systematic approach. As part of an ongoing study of the effectiveness of a 6-month, home-based, multicomponent rehabilitation strategy for older participants with hip fracture, we developed an assessment and intervention protocol. Key features of this protocol include a systematic and thorough assessment of both ...
