PFIT

The PFIT outcome measure is a standardized assessment tool used to evaluate the physical function of critically ill patients, particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU). It measures strength, endurance, and task performance, helping clinicians track recovery progress and guide rehabilitation interventions.

Physical function is measured through specific tests assessing strength, endurance, and mobility. These include tests like manual muscle strength assessments, sit-to-stand assistance, and step cadence, which provide objective data on a patient's functional status.

The full form of PFIT is the Physical Function ICU Test. It is designed to assess the physical function of ICU patients to aid in rehabilitation planning and discharge decisions.
