Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment Scale

Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment Explained "The Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment—commonly known as the Tinetti test—is a widely used clinical tool to evaluate balance and gait in older adults. It helps predict fall risk and guides rehabilitation planning. In this video, we’ll explain why the Tinetti test is important, walk through its scoring system, and share clinical tips for accurate use." --Falls are a leading cause of injury and loss of independence in the elderly. The Tinetti test provides a structured way to assess two key components of mobility: **balance** and **gait**. - It’s quick, non-invasive, and requires minimal equipment. - It can be performed at the bedside, in outpatient clinics, or during home visits. - Most importantly, it helps identify patients who need fall prevention interventions before an incident occurs." "The Tinetti test has two sections: **Balance Assessment** and **Gait Assessment**. Let’s break them down." **1. Balance Section (Maximum Score: 16 points)** "This section includes 9 tasks: - Sitting balance - Arises from chair - Attempts to arise - Immediate standing balance - Standing balance - Nudged balance - Eyes closed while standing - Turning 360 degrees - Sitting down Each task is scored from 0 to 1 or 0 to 2, depending on performance. - 0 = Unable or abnormal - 1 = Adaptive or mild impairment - 2 = Normal 2. Gait Section (Maximum Score: 12 points)** "This section includes 7 tasks: - Initiation of gait - Step length and height (right and left) - Step symmetry - Step continuity - Path deviation - Trunk stability - Walking stance **Total Score and Interpretation** "Add the balance and gait scores for a maximum of 28 points. - **25–28**: Low fall risk - **19–24**: Moderate fall risk - ** more than19**: High fall risk Lower scores indicate greater impairment and higher likelihood of falling."
