Commonly asked questions
Yes. These activities involve a person’s mobility, and since the primary population for this scale is elderly people, they are at risk of losing their balance. That’s why you and your assistants should help support these patients while performing the activities so they don’t get hurt.
Of course, if you ever conduct a house call, you can definitely administer this in a home setting, so long as you have the needed equipment.
