Elderly Mobility Scale
What is the elderly mobility scale? This is a diagnostic tool that is used to measure the mobility of seniors. More specifically, it helps to measure an elderly person’s abilities to take on daily tasks, and then provides a score. This test is often performed at the request of family members to assess the type of care of loved one should be receiving. The test is fairly simple and involves measuring walking speed, functional reach, and how much assistance is needed for moving between the seated and standing position.
