Commonly asked questions
Scoring the Rivermead Mobility Index involves assigning a point for each task the patient can perform independently, with a total of 15 points available. Higher scores indicate better mobility, which is important to know in stroke rehabilitation and planning.
The Modified Rivermead Mobility Index is highly reliable for assessing mobility in chronic stroke patients, with excellent inter-rater and intra-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient up to 0.99 and K values up to 0.96), and a required change of more than 4.5 points to reflect true mobility changes.
