I would agree with Sarah about needing more information and context
specifically for setting. This may not translate directly to physical activity
level, but a 5x sit to stand could quickly assess balance, strength and
functional mobility.
I oftentimes prefer 30 second in my setting because sometimes a pt cannot
perform 5x sit to stand, or they need multiple breaks, but you could provide 5x
sit to stand with a cutoff time.

I think I need more information to help you. What setting are we talking
about? How do the Docs intend to use the information? The BMAT is very, very
low level. The 10-meter walk test is a better indicator of the patient’s
ability to function in the community. If this tool is going to be used for
patients with an oncology diagnosis, I would use the 10-meter walk test with
RPE, as an assessment of their ability to function in the community and
degree of fatigue.

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
