Question

Assessment of integrated musculoskeletal function is the most important part of the physical exam in a patient at risk for falls. Match the following assessments with their correct description. Each answer will only be used once. A. This test includes 14 items of balance, including timed tandem stance, semitandem stance, and the patient's ability to retrieve an object from the floor. A score less than 40 is associated with an increased fall risk. B. The patient is asked to cross their arms over their chest while seated in a chair. They are asked to fully stand up and then sit back down as many times as they can within 30 seconds. For patients 75-79 years old, fewer than 11 stands in men and fewer than 10 stands in women represents poor balance and strength, and indicates an increased fall risk. C. Observe the patient stand up from a chair without using the chair-arms, walk about 3 meters, turn around, walk back, and sit down without using the chair-arms. Failure to complete this test within 15 seconds indicates an increased fall risk. 1. Timed Up and Go Test 2. Chair Stand Test 3. Berg Balance Test
