Objective[edit | edit source]
The Modified Rivermead Mobility Index (MRMI) is adapted from the Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI) to evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy on mobility post-stroke[1].
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Stroke survivors.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
The main difference of MRMI compared to RMI is that the MRMI depends on the patient's ability to perform an activity, involving direct observation from the assessor. Unless safety of patient is at risk, the assessor must allow the patient to perform the required activity independently.
The MRMI consists of 8 activities evaluated using an extended six-point scoring system. The items include:
- Turning over
- Lying to sitting
- Sitting balance
- Sitting to standing
- Standing
- Transfers
- Walking indoors
- Stairs
Time to administer: Approximately 15 mins
