ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To determine responsiveness of the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) “6 Clicks” Basic Mobility Short Form (BMSF) and Basic Mobility Short Form – Low Function (BMSF-LF) for children in the acute care setting.
METHODS: Fifty-one children admitted to a large pediatric, acute care hospital participated in this retrospective study. The BMSF and BMSF-LF were administered by physical therapists during each admission at least 2 times. The standardized response mean (SRM) for the BMSF and BMSF-LF were calculated to determine responsiveness.
RESULTS: Moderate effect sizes were found for both the BMSF (SRM = .71) and the BMSF-LF (SRM = .76).
CONCLUSIONS: The AM-PAC BMSF and BMSF-LF have acceptable responsiveness to determine functional change in pediatric acute care setting.
