Functional mobility assessments

Functional mobility assessments are tests designed to evaluate a person's ability to move in their daily life. These assessments look at how well individuals can perform tasks like walking, getting in and out of a chair, climbing stairs, or maintaining balance. The purpose is to determine their mobility level, identify any challenges they face, and guide treatment or interventions to improve their independence and safety. Healthcare professionals often use these assessments for older adults or those recovering from injury or surgery to tailor rehabilitation plans that enhance their mobility and overall quality of life.
