2020年7月2日 · BMAT 2.0 incorporates new knowledge developed over 5 years of BMAT 1.0 use. It clarifies how to perform assessments and determine pass or fail; the nurse’s role in assessing, strengthening, and progressing patients; progression from Level 3 to Level 4; and the use of walkers, canes, crutches, and prosthetic legs and progressing patients who ...

This article introduces the Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool 2.0 (BMAT 2.0), revised from BMAT 1.0, which was created to identify pa-tient mobility function deficits and guide the healthcare team in selecting equipment to safe-ly handle and mobilize patients.

Ten-item ordinal scale that measures functional independence using the following components: Transfers (0 - unable, no sitting balance to 15 - independent); Mobility on level surfaces (0 - immobile of < 50 yards to 15 - independent but may use any aid > 50 yards); Stairs (0 - unable to 10 - independent).

A crosswalk image was designed to accompany the BMAT document to illustrate appropriate interventions and equipment for each mobility level (see Figure 1). 1,2 This tool aimed to assist nurses in...

The BMAT is a tool designed for nurses to assess patient mobility in acute care. The BMAT allows nurses (and other healthcare workers) to determine the appropriate patient handling and mobility equipment or device to safely move or mobilize the patient.

2024年10月2日 · The BMAT is primarily a nurse-driven mobility assessment tool created to not be overly prescriptive. BMAT was validated and determined to be reliable based on years of clinical utility studies and research in various settings across the continuum of care.

2024年1月31日 · The purpose of the study was to validate matched components of BMAT against ICU Mobility scale (IMS) in acute orthopaedic settings using intraclass correlation coefficient between the testers for BMAT and IMS.

BMAT is a evidence-based tool linked to positive patient outcomes (Liko R&D 2017): Early mobilization for patients Reduction in patient falls Reduction in pressure ulcers Prevention of lifting/repositioning injuries for staff
