目的：探讨身体活动能力量表（PMS）评分的信度和效度。PMS是由物理治疗师在住宅老年护理工作，具体显示居民功能的流动性，并提供有关每个居民的需要监督或协助的一个或两个工作人员和设备在位置的变化，转让，动员和个人care.Methods：19个物理治疗师的不同背景和经验评分的9个居民的护理设施从录像的性能。这些表现与两个“黄金标准”评估工具的得分进行了比较。四个物理治疗师重复的evaluations.Results：PAIS表现出优秀的内容效度和reliability.Conclusions：PAIS提供分级性能的身体流动性，包括对工作人员和设备的依赖程度。这是现有功能评估工具的主要优势。物理治疗师使用该工具不需要专门的培训。
Objectives: The study was designed to show the validity and reliability of scoring the Physical Mobility Scale (PMS). PMS was developed by physiotherapists working in residential aged care to specifically show resident functional mobility and to provide information regarding each resident's need for supervision or assistance from one or two staff members and equipment during position changes, transfers, mobilising and personal care.Methods: Nineteen physiotherapists of varying backgrounds and experience scored the performances of nine residents of care facilities from video recordings. The performances were compared to scores on two 'gold standard' assessment tools. Four of the physiotherapists repeated the evaluations.Results: The PAIS showed excellent content validity and reliability.Conclusions: The PAIS provides graded performance of physical mobility, including level of dependency on staff and equipment. This is a major advantage over existing functional assessment tools. There is no need for specific training for physiotherapists to use the tool.
