Mobility assessment tools

Mobility assessment tools are instruments used to evaluate a person's ability to move safely and effectively. These tools can include questionnaires, performance tests, and observational methods that assess balance, strength, coordination, and overall mobility. They help healthcare professionals identify any mobility issues, track progress over time, and tailor rehabilitation or support plans. Common examples include the Timed Up and Go test and the Berg Balance Scale. Ultimately, these assessments aim to ensure individuals maintain their independence and reduce the risk of falls or injuries.
