Objective[edit | edit source]

  • To record patient's highest level of mobility in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)[1][2]

Intended Population[edit | edit source]

  • Patient's admitted in ICU [2]

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

Health professionals working in ICU setting can easily use the outcome tool in the patient to check the highest mobility level of patient.[1]

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Reliability[edit | edit source]

  • Intraclass correlation: 0.80 (0.75-0.84)[1]
  • Interrater reliability with kappa score: 0.84 for senior and junior physiotherapists, 0.77 for senior physiotherapists and nurse and 0.90 for junior physiotherapist and nurse[1].

Validity[edit | edit source]

Construct validity[edit | edit source]

  • The convergent validity was assessed by finding the correlation between ICU mobility scale and muscle strength and was found to be moderate(r=0.64, P<0.001)
  • The divergent validity was assessed by finding the correlation between weight and gender of the patient and no correlation was found.

Predictive validity[edit | edit source]

  • The mobility score was associated with survival of patient to 90 days with OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.14–1.66
  • The mobility score was associated with discharge home (
