Matching Assessments and injuries

2 min walk test

Used to measure functional walking capacity, endurance, and mobility in people recovering from neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary conditions, or major trauma

Borg Rate Of Perceived Exertion Scale

• an outcome measure scale used to gauge one's exercise intensity

• was developed for rating exertion, breathlessness and fatigue during physical activity

• also monitors progress and mode of exercise in patient populations including those with cardiac, respiratory and neurological diseases undergoing rehabilitation

Health Promoting Activities Scale

Instead, it is a universal, 8-item self-report questionnaire designed to measure how often a person engages in self-selected, healthy leisure and lifestyle activities that support overall physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being

Broad population use

Katz Activities Of Daily Living (ADL) Scale

• Graded instrument that assesses six primary and psychosocial functions: bathing, dressing, going to toilet, transferring, feeding, and continence.

• Measures a person's independence in those common activities of daily living.
