Assuming that you are using a pulse oximeter to "assess O2" [which it is
not], why would you expect the reading to change in 30 sec. It takes a
significant pathology for available hemoglobin to leave the lungs less than
98-100% oxygenated making changes in the measure questionable in a
screening assessment.
How long after completing the exercise did you monitor HR. Recovery HR can
be as significant of dysfunction as HR change during the exercise.

Agree with the recent comments - we use 30 sec STS while assessing HR and
O2 response for a snapshot of activity tolerance (and to assess safety of
activity for patient). We also always do a hand dynamometer screen to
assess upper body strength - and usually TUG. Gives a good quick picture
of performance status, strength and fall risk. Quick and easy to
Do.

Heidi: I agree with you about the 6 clicks, it's limited and looks at
functional mobility which to me is different than physical/performance
status.
Shai: I like your input about the 5x or 30 sec. It's quick and relatively
little instruction needed. Pair it with the TUG which is quick and easy as
long as there is space and opens the objectiveness of the screen.

Definitely there is a wide spread love affair for the AMPAC score.
Sad to me. It’s such a limited subjective snap shot, but it is easy!
I’m going to back up Shai here- sit to stand is a better tool.

The hospital I work at also uses the AM-PAC or "6-clicks" outcome
measure. The rehab staff and nurses are all trained to use it; the
therapists score the AM-PAC every session with the patient. It's very quick
and is being used at several large university hospitals and helps with d/c
planning. Case managers are also trained and understand what the scores
mean.

You should look at the AM-PAC for a self-reported functional assessment.
Paul LaStayo at University of Utah is using it and has some great data to
back it up.

Hello,
I have been asked to develop a “quick screening” method for docs to use
to assess a patient’s physical activity level. Does anyone have a survey
or functional test that they are using to assess this?
Thanks,
Jeannie
