The Functional Independence Measure (FIM ) is an 18- Item of physical, psychological and social function.

Intended Population
[edit | edit source]

In any motor impairment associated with any condition

Method of Use[edit | edit source]

The FIM uses the level of assistance an individual needs to grade the functional status of a person. Grading is given as total independence to total assistance. Irrespective of the use of any assistive device, the person is considered complete independence.

Bathing
Upper Body Dressing
Lower Body Dressing
Toileting

The FIM Measures what an individual can perform and not what that person could do under certain circumstances.
