RESOURCE
Functional Mobility Scale
——
We talked about it with the new Myelomeningocele classification scale, but we figured we’d bring it up again while walking about equipment this week. The Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) is a useful tool that classifies the mobility level of children ages 4-18 and takes into account assistive devices.
——
Three distances are looked at: 5 meters, 50 meters, and 500 meters. A rating of 1-6 is assigned based on the child’s ability level.
1 – Uses wheelchair
2 – Uses walker or frame
3 – Uses crutches
4 – Uses sticks (1 or 2)
5 – Independent on LEVEL surfaces
6 – Independent on ALL surfaces
C – Crawling (mobility at home)
N – Does not apply to that child
——
Be sure to add this to your study guide if you are not familiar with it, as it is a useful tool to know!
