Morse Fall Scale – The Morse Fall Scale is a widely used and validated fall risk assessment tool for adult patients.

The Johns Hopkins Fall Risk Assessment Tool (JHFRAT) was developed as part of an evidence-based fall safety initiative. This risk stratification tool is valid, reliable and highly effective when combined with a comprehensive protocol, and fall-prevention products and technologies.

Berg Balance Scale score (≤50 points), Timed Up and Go times (≥12 seconds), and 5 times sit-to-stand times (≥12) seconds are currently the most evidence-supported functional measures to determine individual risk of future falls.

The tool can assist in identifying an individual's overall risk of having a fall as well as specific risk factors to target. The FROP-Com screen is a shortened version of the FROP-Com, assessing three common risk factors for falls. The FROP-Com screening tool is designed to be used by health professionals.

Screening will start with questions about when, where and how you fell and the impact the fall has had on you. You'll then be asked about a range of risk factors that may have contributed to your fall, including: your walking, balance, strength and mobility and how you're managing to carry out daily activities.

The most commonly used fall risk assessment tools were the Morse Fall Scale and the Performance-Oriented Mobility Scale. Across all facilities the common domains assessed included: Intrinsic factors. Treatment-related or extrinsic factors.

This test checks your gait. ... 30-Second Chair Stand Test. This test checks strength and balance. ... 4-Stage Balance Test. This test checks how well you can keep your balance.
