What is the Functional Mobility Assessment (FMA)?

The Functional Mobility Assessment (FMA) tool available through U.S. Rehab is a provider-centric way to measure how consumers self-report their ability to function using mobility equipment. The tool measures a patient’s satisfaction to perform Mobility-Related Activities of Daily Living (MRADL’s) in a client’s old equipment compared to his or her new equipment. 

The FMA is an outcomes management tool that tracks patient health. This is the only outcomes tool that is provider-centric and follows clients after they are provided a new mobility intervention.

Data collected from the FMA will be used several different ways. 

  • Defend the need and pricing for complex rehab technology (CRT)
  • Show what we already know- what type of equipment is appropriate for various diagnoses 
  • Validate the importance of the ATP
  • Produce evidence that when quality equipment is provided by a certified medical professional, patients have better outcomes

Why Participate?

Participating providers will receive a report of their FMA data as compared to the national baseline. A minimum of 50 time 1 and 50 time 2 datasets are required before a report can be created. The information in the report can be used to market to referral sources and within provider accreditation policies and procedures, quality assurance, and site survey recertification.

If insurance companies aren’t asking for outcomes data now, they will in the near future.
