2020年7月2日 · This article introduces the Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool 2.0 (BMAT 2.0), revised from BMAT 1.0, which was created to identify patient mobility function deficits and guide the healthcare team in selecting equipment to safely handle and mobilize patients.

The aim of BMAT is to determine a patient’s current mobility status (based on completing four maneuvers: sit and shake, stretch and point, stand, step: march-in-place, advance step and return), assign a mobility level and choose equipment to complete a task [4 – 6].

s to occur cognitive ability to follow directions Step: 1) March- or step-in-place taking small steps (not high-marching steps) x 3 repetitions; if able to pass then 2) Step forward with one foot, weight-bear/shift weight onto foot and retur.

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.

As a quick bedside assessment tool, the BMAT is a step in the right direction. It’s part of a broad pro-gram of increased staff awareness, education, and training around pa-tient assessments, preventing staff injuries and patient falls, and achieving better patient outcomes.

With patient in seated position at the side of the bed, have patient place both feet on the floor (or stool) with knees no higher than hips. Ask patient to stretch one leg and straighten the knee, …

What is the purpose of each step of the BMAT? The Bedside Mobility Assessment Tool (BMAT) is a nursing mobility assessment. It should increase nurses’ consistency in assessing patients’ mobility and assist with the selection of the safest and least restrictive lift or other safe patient handling device.

Phases of Implementation There are 4 Phases to BMAT implementation. See the steps and explanation for the phases here: Readiness for BMAT- This phase addresses the basic components needed before the BMAT should be implemented. Ensuring completion of this checklist will support successful implementation.
