Mobility Assessment
The Case for Mobility Assessment in Hospitalized Older Adults
A White Paper from the American Geriatrics Society
ABSTRACT
Mobility can be defined as the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. During acute illness and hospitalization, decline in mobility is common and has a large impact on older patients’ health, independence, and quality of life. Despite its importance, however, loss of mobility is not a widely recognized outcome of hospital care, and few hospitals routinely assess patients’ level of mobility during their hospital stay. In this white paper, the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) discusses the implications of low mobility, defined as being restricted to bed or only transferring from bed to chair. The Society also reviews the currently available mobility measures and interventions and makes recommendations that would move the field forward by promoting routine mobility assessment in older, hospitalized patients, older being defined as those aged 65 years and older.
