Purpose:
To determine responsiveness of the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care (AM-PAC) "6 Clicks" Basic Mobility Short Form (BMSF) and Basic Mobility Short Form - Low Function (BMSF-LF) for children in the acute care setting.
Methods:
Fifty-one children admitted to a large pediatric, acute care hospital participated in this retrospective study. The BMSF and BMSF-LF were administered by physical therapists during each admission at least 2 times. The standardized response mean (SRM) for the BMSF and BMSF-LF were calculated to determine responsiveness.
Results:
Moderate effect sizes were found for both the BMSF (SRM = .71) and the BMSF-LF (SRM = .76).
Conclusions:
The AM-PAC BMSF and BMSF-LF have acceptable responsiveness to determine functional change in pediatric acute care setting.

Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
