Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment

The Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment is a clinical tool used by healthcare providers to evaluate an older adult's balance, gait, and risk of falling. It involves a series of tasks, such as standing, walking, turning, and sitting, rated on how safely and efficiently they are performed. The assessment helps identify individuals who may be at higher risk of falling so that appropriate interventions or therapies can be planned. It provides a practical way to measure mobility function and track progress over time, ultimately aiming to improve safety and independence in daily activities.
