FIM Score Calculator

Calculated Values

Considering these as variable values: R = 2.0, T = 10.0, FIMmax = 126.0, FIM = 20.0, the calculated value(s) are given in the table below:

Derived Variable Value
FIMt Function 40.0
FIMt_percent Function 31.74603

Formulas Used

  • FIMt = FIM + (R Ă— T)
  • FIMt% = (FIMt Ă· FIMmax) Ă— 100

Explanation

The FIM Score calculator determines a patient's Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at a given time and expresses it as a percentage of the maximum possible score. It helps clinicians track rehab progress and guide therapy plans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the importance of the FIM score in rehabilitation?

The FIM score measures a patient’s functional independence and helps clinicians track progress, set treatment goals, and plan discharge.

How is FIMt calculated?

FIMt is calculated using the formula: FIM + (Rate Ă— Days). The percentage is calculated against the maximum possible FIM score.

What is a good FIMt percentage?

A higher FIMt% indicates greater recovery and independence. Typically, rehab teams set goals based on initial FIM and expected progress over time.
