Материал из Онлайн справочника
Шаблон:Infobox diagnostic Gait Abnormality Rating Scale (GARS)[1] is a videotape-based analysis of 16 facets of human gait. It has been evaluated as a screening tool to identify patients at risk for injury from falls.[2] and has been used in remote gait evaluation.[3] A modified version was published in 1996.[4]
Scoring and assessment
The scale comprises three categories:[5]
- five general facets
- four lower extremity facets
- seven trunk, head and upper extremity facets
Each item has a score range from 0 (good function) to 3 (poor function).[6]
The total GARS score is the sum of the 16 individual facets, and the total score represents a rank ordering of risk for falling, based on the number of gait abnormalities recognized and the severity of any gait abnormality identified.
