Anthropometrics, physical symptoms by questionnaire, muscle performance, and
functional mobility were evaluated at baseline and followup.
The 6MWT is a practical, safe test of
functional mobility requiring very little equipment and is appropriate for use even in individuals with severe impairments early in rehabilitation.
This information can assist the health care team in estimating anticipated gait speed improvements in each setting and describing
functional mobility levels upon discharge from these settings.
Cumulatively, the results indicate that interactive virtual reality balance related games within conventional rehabilitation programmes retrains one's Centre of Pressure in different directions, ranges and speeds frequently and elicits effective ankle and hip postural control strategies to maintain
functional mobility affected with increase age [24].
The relatively poor level of
functional mobility attained on discharge supports reports of previous studies documenting functional recovery following SC infarction (Burns et al 1997, McKinley et al 2006, Masson et al 2004, Salvador de la Barrera et al 2001).
The SF-36 assessed his quality of life and modified manual muscle testing, range of motion measures, and
functional mobility status tracked his physical limitations.
* There is a change in the resident's medical status that prevents
functional mobility.
Although literature examining predictive measures of
functional mobility for those with BLLA is limited, our findings are consistent with previous studies that state the presence of at least one intact knee is key to maximizing function [20].
The iBOT's functions and advanced features may increase wheelchair users'
functional mobility and help satisfy the desire to return to demanding work activities.
In May 1994, the occupational therapists worked on enhancing the
functional mobility programs within the building by incorporating the use of a device known as the Ambi-Walker.
The 6MWT has become one of the most widely used performance-based outcome measures of
functional mobility and exercise capacity in a wide variety of populations because of its construct, low cost, and convenience to administer [27].
With proven Medicare reimbursements for arthritis, chronic pain,
functional mobility, circulatory issues, and a variety of other conditions, the easy-to-use VitalWrap System and its family of therapeutic wraps provide therapy to areas including the back, knee, shoulder, foot/ankle, wrist, hand, and hip.
