[edit | edit source]
The High Level Mobility and Assessment tool (HiMAT) is a standardized outcome measure used to quantify functional mobility in individuals with high-level balance and mobility deficits. It was originally created by Gavin Williams in 2005 as an assessment tool for people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). [1] [2]
Intended Population
[edit | edit source]
Most published evidence implementing the HiMAT gives data on assessment of patients with TBI. The HiMAT can be used for a number of other neurological and musculoskeletal conditions that result in high-level vestibular and motor deficits. As per the tool instructions, those being assessed using the HiMAT must at least have the ability to walk greater than 20 meters independently without gait aids and with or without orthoses.
