Résumé : |
Approximately 5.3 million Americans live with disabilities related to traumatic brain injury (TBI).1 TBI causes a wide range of impairments; even high-functioning individuals with TBI often have physical impairments that impede their ability to return to their prior activities, including accessing the community and employment. Many outcome measures do not detect high-level deficits because of a ceiling effect. The High-level Mobility Assessment Tool (HiMAT) is a free, 13-item, unidimensional scale that measures mobility in people who can ambulate independently at least 20m without an assistive device.2 It assesses high-level activities, such as running and jumping, which are not typically included in other measures. It is clinically feasible, as it requires minimal time and equipment, requiring only a stopwatch, a brick, and 14 stairs with handrails. A revised 8-item version of the HiMAT eliminating the stairs items exists, but more studies are needed before recommendations for its use can be made.3 The HiMAT has excellent reliability and adequate to excellent concurrent validity with the FIM and Rivermead Mobility Assessment in individuals with mild to severe TBI.4-6 Standard error measurement and minimal detectable change data have been reported, which will allow clinicians to identify true change in an individual's performance.4,5 A full review of the HiMAT and reviews of nearly 200 other instruments can be found at www.rehabmeasures.org. |
